'I felt no one would believe me'

What Louise Nicholas said:

· "I have done nothing wrong. These guys are the ones that have done the damage and I am not going to sit back and let the demons of the past be buried with me."

· "I was led into there and my clothes were removed. Even then I started saying, 'Come on guys, I don't want this to happen' but it fell on deaf ears. Then I was on the bed and the baton was produced and I just knew then, Jesus Christ, and I asked them not to use it but they did."

· "For 23 years of my life I have had to carry some pretty horrible secrets."

· *"I felt no one would believe me because they were police officers."
