Nicole* will never forget the sense of numbness she felt after her father raped her in December 2018. 

After returning home drunk at 15, having chugged alcohol her own dad, Richard*, had bought her, she was berated by him for getting into trouble at school earlier that day. 

As 'punishment', he threatened to rape her then forced himself onto his daughter in a sickening attack. 

When he was done, he waltzed into the kitchen of their western Sydney home and poured himself a drink. Nicole ran to the shower. 

'I felt disgusting,' she told Daily Mail Australia. 

'I was scrubbing my skin because I didn't feel clean. Nothing I did would make me feel clean.'
