However, it wasn't until she reached adolescence that Ria, now 20, realised she had been molested and raped by her father Bharat Ghohil for several years. Ria, from Hemel Hempstead, was just six years old wen her father began to abuse her, after losing his job and becoming a stay at home father.
He preyed on his daughter while his wife, Ria's mother, was out of the house at work. For six years until she was 12 years old, Ghohil attacked his daughter so frequently that she came to think it was normal behaviour for a father; but never mentioned the abuse to her mother because he told her it was 'their secret'. But when she began to learn about sex education at school, Ria came to the harrowing realisation that her father was sexually abusing her.
Ria Vora from Hemel Hempstead, was six years old when her father began a horrendous six-year campaign of sexual abuse against her. Above: Ria in her younger .
