A trial has heard claims a 15-
Donald Macneil, of Burnside, Daliburgh, denies a raft of sexual accusations against 13 women dating over 40 years between the 1970s and 2011.
One of them gave the High Court in Glasgow an account of what she claimed was years of sexual abuse.
She said it started when she was around seven to ten years old with him touching her bottom or brushing his hand past her chest.
Once, when a bit older, he came from behind her and put one hand on her shoulder, holding her down as he molested her, she said.
Other times, “he used any opportunity he could to brush past me, inappropriately touch me, hold me.”
“He always tried to kiss me on the lips. He tried to put his tongue in my mouth,”she said.
The woman stressed she “couldn’t tell anyone” what was going on as Macneil was “regarded as a pillar of the community” and his son was a priest.
“Who would believe me?” she said.
She also said: “On the face of it, to the community, he was a very pleasant and plausible man” but she saw a different side to him.
“Steadily, it got worse. He took his opportunity, any opportunity he had,” she said.
When she was 15, he raped her, she told the jury, explaining what allegedly happened.
She added: “He was not often very aggressive to me but he was on that day. He’s a good bit stronger than I was.”
Sobbing behind a screen, she told the prosecutor that, later that particular day, she was “so angry. I told him I hated him, absolutely hated him.”
There were “several times,” a couple of years earlier, when she was around 13 years old, when he attacked her and tried to rape her, she maintained.
Once, he got “quite angry with himself” when he could not manage to have sexual intercourse, the court heard.
“He treated you like a dog if he never got his satisfaction. He left you there and walked” away, said the woman.
She continued: “I used to go home and cry on my bed and got upset and hope my mum or dad would ask me something specific so I could tell them.”
Macneil pinned her down to a table during one 15-
His “usual sayings” were disgusting she emphasised when prosecutor Kath Harper asked if Macneil talked during the alleged attacks.
Defence QC Derek Ogg said she never showed outward signs of distress if the incidents had indeed occurred.
He queried why she never told anyone.
She said: “I was embarrassed. I was disgusted at myself. And why was it happening to me? I didn’t want anyone to know.”
Macneil denies all the charges. The trial in front of Judge Johnson continues.
