A woman has revealed how her cousin's fiancé sexually abused her when she was just 12 years old - a week before his wedding - and paid her £20 to keep quiet.
Imogen Magee, now 21, recounted how Daniel Broadmore, now 36, plied her with alcohol and sexually assaulted her before forcing her to watch pornography and blackmailing her.
She is now bravely waiving her right to anonymity to encourage other survivors of sexual abuse to speak out and report their attackers to the police - but admits it took her 'years to find the courage to report him'.
Her assailant was last month jailed for five and a half years for multiple sexual offences against Imogen - and now she feels 'relief'.
'I want others to know that no matter how much time has passed, they can achieve justice too,' Imogen, who is now a model, added.

Growing up, Imogen, from North Yorkshire, would often spend time at her cousin's house during the summer holidays, Halloween and New Year's Eve celebrations.
Her cousin's then fiancé, Broadmore, would buy her gifts, take her out and appeared to be a family man.
The day after she turned 12 in August 2014, Imogen visited her cousin's house, where she played in the paddling pool in the garden.
But hours later, she and Broadmore were left alone because her cousin and aunt went to the bingo.
He had joined her in the pool and gave her glass of blue WKD - which she had thought was a bubblegum flavoured beverage.
Imogen revealed she 'became drunk' because Broadmore kept topping her drink up over the hour.
'Then Daniel suggested we play truth or dare,' she recalled.
'I said "dare" and he replied "I dare you to show me your chest".

'I was confused but quickly lifted my bikini top up and sat back down. Then he asked me to do it again.'
When she refused, Broadmore became angry and demanded she did it again - so, she did. Then he flashed Imogen his penis.
'I was shocked and felt uncomfortable,' she said.
Afterwards, Broadmore asked Imogen to take a bath with him and get undressed. She reluctantly followed him upstairs, where he proceeded to 'wash' her and touch her inappropriately.
When she got out and got changed, Broadmore was still naked and sprawled out on the sofa.
He asked her to sit next to him and proceeded to put pornography on the TV.
'He started masturbating,' Imogen revealed. 'Then he offered me £20 to watch him and then to touch him and pleasure him.
The young girl 'felt disgusting and was terrified' - but afterwards, Broadmore warned her that she'd get in trouble if she told anyone what he'd done.

Just days later, she was back there to help prepare for the wedding - and was once again left alone with Broadmore when her cousin popped out.
'Daniel said he'd bought a wedding gift for my cousin. It was an underwear set he'd laid out on the bed,' she revealed.
'He asked me to go and try it on. Reluctantly, I went into the bedroom and closed the door, before putting on the bra.
'When I heard him try to get in the bedroom, I was terrified, and I blocked the door with a chest of drawers.'
Eventually, Broadmore gave up and left with Imogen's cousin returning shortly after. At the wedding, the next week, Imogen avoided him all day.
Imogen (pictured aged 21) said Daniel 'robbed her of her childhood' and made her think she'd 'never be believed'
'Whenever I went to the toilet he'd be lurking around and would wink at me,' she added. 'It was horrible. He disgusted me.'
It wasn't until years later, when she turned 18, that she found the courage to report him to the police.
In April this year, Broadmore was jailed for five and a half years at York Crown Court - for inciting sexual activity, indecent exposure, sexual assault and engaging in a sexual act in the presence of a child.
Imogen said Daniel 'robbed her of her childhood' and made her think she'd 'never be believed'.
'He should've got longer for what he did,' she continued. 'But I'm relieved he's off the streets unable to harm anyone else.'
