But the changes, which are currently being put through parliament, will only affect prisoners sentenced after the new legislation comes into force. Almost every man her mother associated with was a paedophile but Fowley has broken that family pattern.

Despite her appalling childhood, Dana Fowley has grown into a strong woman whose courage and determination to make a better life for her own family shine through on every page of her deeply disturbing, but ultimately triumphant, true story. She was grieving, not so much for the loss of Dunsmore as a person but for the loss of the mother she never had.But in 2009, prosecutions against two further men accused of the caravan abuse collapsed when her mother withdrew her evidence.

Dana, from north Edinburgh, was raped from the age of 5 by her stepfather, from age 7 by a grandfather, then by other members of the ring. A group of up to 15 beasts preyed on Dana and another girl at houses in Edinburgh and a Perthshire caravan park.That the main instigator of the paedophile ring was actually the mother of the two abused girls is shocking enough, but that the girl’s father, step-father and grandparents all took part in the abuse is disturbing.

Twelve years older than her, his relationship had failed and he was left with two children, seven-year-old Paul and six-month-old Ryan. She and her younger sister endured years of terrible abuse, subjected day after day to unimaginable attacks, and not only did their own mother do nothing to protect them, she willingly helped. detailed her horrific upbringing and gang rapes orchestrated by evil mum Dunsmore, 58, who was jailed for 12 years in 2007 and released in 2015.
