Scottish girl abused by Jehovah's Witness dad asked church for help - but was molested by trusted elder too

Mum-of-four Angie Rodgers waived her right to anonymity in a bid to help other sufferers of child sex abuse after being abused by her father for five years.  Cowering under her duvet at night, 11-year-old Angie prayed that God would keep her safe.
