When Jeni Haynes was a child, she was repeatedly raped and tortured by her father, Richard Haynes. Even the Australian police have claimed that it is one of the worst cases of child abuse in that country.
In order to face this terrible situation, Jeni’s mind began to create new identities in order to endure the pain. For everything she had to go through, in the end the woman generated 2,500 different personalities in order to survive.
In 2019, Jeni confronted her father and in front of a court gave evidence against him through their personalities.. According to international media, this would be the first case in Australia and in the world, in which a victim with dissociative identity disorder has testified with her other personalities.

The abuses she had to suffer when she was a child
In 1974, the Haynes family moved from Bexleyheath, outside London, to Australia. At the time, Jeni was four years old and her father was already abusing her, but when they arrived in Sydney her abuse was worse and daily.
“My father’s abuse was planned, calculated and deliberate. He enjoyed every minute of it,” Jeni told the court in 2019.
He added: “He heard me beg him to stop, he heard me cry, he saw the pain and terror he was inflicting on me, he saw the blood and physical damage he was causing me. And the next day he decided to do it all over again.”
Jeni also commented at the trial that her father brainwashed her into thinking he could ‘read her mind’. He also threatened to kill her mother, brother and sister if she thought about the abuse or if she said anything.
“My inner life was invaded by my dad. I couldn’t even feel safe in my own head,” Jeni said. “I could no longer analyze what was happening to me and draw my own conclusions.”
Her father’s abuse did not end until Jeni was 11 and the family moved back to the UK. Shortly after, in 1984, her parents divorced. However, she never talked about it and thought her mother didn’t know anything.
The injuries her father caused her were quite serious, yet he never took her to the doctor. Currently, Jenni has permanent injuries to her eyesight, jaw, bowel, anus, and tailbone. Some of these even required extensive surgeries, such as the colostomy that was performed in 2011.

“She suffered every minute from dad’s abuse and when he abused me, his daughter Jeni, he was actually abusing Symphony,” Jeni told the BBC.

For decades, Jeni struggled to get help for her trauma. Also, for years counselors and therapists turned her away because her story provoked disbelief or was so traumatic that she couldn’t deal with it.
Justice has been done!
As reported on the ‘BBC’, on September 6, Jeni sat a few meters from her father in court, to see how he was sentenced to 45 years for his crimes. At the time, Haynes was in poor health and was required to serve 33 years of age before being eligible for parole.
The sentencing judge, Sarah Huggett, commented that he would likely die in jail.
“His crimes were deeply disturbing and perverted and completely abhorrent and heinous”he assured.
