Victim-survivor of Frankie Nielsen's crimes praised
Detectives have praised the courage of a victim-survivor of child sexual offences as she describes the ‘everyday trauma’ she lives with. Frankie Nielsen, 38, initially sent sexually explicit messages to the secondary school-aged girl. However, the abuse escalated and he then went on to sexually assault the victim-survivor twice. Now, the girl describes how she has gone from feeling ‘safe in her everyday life’ to ‘disgusted and too scared to tell her family’.
