Ms Valerie McAllorum Ryan:

To no degree. I did feel, initially, that, yes, it was to some degree because there was the suspended sentence. Not in a million years did I think that could not be enacted when he reoffended. I did feel, without feeling to be Mystic Meg, that he would reoffend. He did, and I just felt like absolutely everything I had gone through meant nothing. He was free to move on with his life whereas my life has been changed irrevocably. I have not been back to work and I am still constantly facing having operations and procedures. Nearly seven years later, it is still ongoing. I just feel that I have suffered a lot of consequences and the offender has had absolutely no consequences.
