Forty-eight year old Rosanne Sliney says her uncle and godfather Domenic Previte, Jr. of Waltham raped and sexually assaulted her hundreds of times when she was between five and fourteen years old but she kept it all a secret:
"I never talked about it in my family,"
Until she was in her twenties when she broke down and told relatives:
"They all acknowledged and understood the truth of what I had remembered."
But she says her family pressured her to forgive Previte, who agreed to pay for her medical and therapy bills. Sliney's attorney Carmen Durso says Previte has stopped providing financial assistance.
"Because every time he wrote a check it just brought back [for Rosanne] the painful memories of what had happened."
Sliney is seeking damages for her pain and suffering.
"I've suffered enough and I'm not hiding any more."
