Dorothy Major was too scared to call for help. The man who had just sexually assaulted her was a nurse, and chances were, if she pressed an emergency buzzer he would be the one who came back.
When describing the attack, she laughs nervously and stumbles over her words.For example, she has always maintained the perpetrator was a well-spoken man.But the nurse insisted he was not a bad person, even suggesting she might like"a little play".
"He said, 'why don't you take your legs out, take both legs out' and I said, 'get the bloody hell out of it'.""I told her and she said 'I'll have a talk to him, he shouldn't do that, he's not allowed', or something," Mrs Major said.Family kept in the dark about assault Mrs Major's daughter, June Austen, said the home did not contact any family members after the assault."She is usually quite bright and ready for a visitor, but she had her head down," Ms Austen said.Ms Austen is angry she was not informed and that her mother, she says, was not given any support after being sexually assaulted.
