THE VICTIM SPEAKS

He was almost untouchable,' she adds. "This investigation took a very long time. Understandably so, because these are serious allegations. But during that time, he felt untouchable and that this would never happen. Now we can go to work and not feel bullied and victimised. In one disciplinary hearing, he stormed out,calling everyone crazy, thinking nothing would happen,' she adds. "It's not nice to feel like you're in hell at a place where you spend most of your time. Going to work was like going to hell.'  At the time of publishing, Pat Cash was unavailable for comment.
