‘My mum and step-dad kept me in a wardrobe and raped me nightly’ – woman tells horror story

A 21-year-old woman whose mother and stepfather forcefully kept her in a wardrobe for five years has told of how she was banned from eating, tortured and raped every night.

Lauren Kavanaugh lived in the 4ft by 9ft closet between the ages of three and eight. She was held there by her mother, Barbara and stepfather, Kenny Atkinson who were convicted of abusing her in 2002 and jailed for life.

The evil couple called Lauren their ‘little secret’ – only bringing her out to rape and torture her – but were caught when they showed her off to a horrified neighbour who alerted police.

When Lauren was pulled from the tiny cupboard in 2001 she was eight but weighed just 25.6 pounds, the same as the average two-year-old. She was rushed to surgery where she was fitted with a colostomy bag, but her organs were shutting down.
