Haynes who was extradited from the United Kingdom in February 2017, pleaded guilty to charges of rape, buggery and indecent assault against his daughter in Sydney in the 1970s and 1980s. Jenny Haynes aged 4 at the family home in Bexleyheath, London. Ms Haynes said her father was sentenced to nine years for sexual assault on another child in the UK and had served six. With his daughter in the public gallery, Haynes admitted to the offences which took place in Dulwich Hill and in a shed next to their home in Greenacre. Ms Haynes, 49, who lives in Queensland, spent the week preparing to give evidence using her multiple personalities. The first was four-year-old girl Symphony. Then 11-year-old boy Judas and then as a teenager, Muscles. They all have their own voices and characteristics.

Prosecutor Sean Hughes told the court last month that Ms Haynes had dissociative identity disorder and that it was a sophisticated coping mechanism. It was possible that during her testimony she would present as another personality or "alter" he said. Speaking to the Herald, Ms Haynes explained that Symphony was her most important "alter". Praising both Queensland police and Bankstown Detective Sargeant Paul Stamoulis for listening to her, she said it was not possible to get multiple personality disorder without the kind of extreme abuse she had endured. "It was Symphony who my father suppressed," she said. "Jenny was born and my father started to abuse her. An alter was created who came to take dad's abuse so Jenny didn't have to.

"From that moment forward, as the abuse happened there would be distractions - sounds, smells and tastes would make it difficult for Symphony to deal with dad's abuse and so other alters came along and they took away the smell, taste or sound. "Symphony intended to testify in court for the whole thing. When my father raped Jennifer Haynes he raped Symphony. Jenny Haynes' family home in Greenacre. Assaults took place in the adjoining shed. "There was an 11-year-old boy, name of Judas, with the obvious task of telling, and he fully intended to arrive and testify. And then there would be Muscles who was born on January 13, 1977 when my father did the first of his ritual ...[assaults]. "Muscles is a 17-year-old, well he's now 18, he was a teenage motorcycle-loving lout. Today if I move my hand Muscles is doing that. He refused to turn 18 because if he turned 18 before dad was arrested he could get a gun licence and shoot him."

Her mother, Pat Haynes, 73, said she met her future husband, an electronics engineer, when she was 19 at a dancing school in Welling in England. The family moved to Australia in 1974 where they considered their prospects would be brighter. That's where the offending started. They divorced, without her knowing about the offending, in 1984. Jenny Haynes with her father Richard Haynes. Ms Haynes added: "He told me that if I told my mother she would die. According to him, she would just drop down dead. He pleaded guilty today because he is scared to death of hearing Symphony testify about everything he did to her. "I am not real to my father. I am a blow-up doll. He never called me Jenny and he certainly never called me Symphony because he never met her." She said she spoke to all the alter personalities internally to agree to the facts. "Every single alter had to agree to the facts. Six alters were going to give the vast majority of the evidence."

Asked about the legacy of the assault, she said: "How could I possibly have a relationship with anybody when the act to express your love has been an act of punishment? I can't bear to be touched. I am alone and will probably always will be alone." Ms Haynes said she hoped her father would endure a "very long and very uncomfortable life in prison". "I hope there will be a level of powerlessness for him that at least reflects some of the powerlessness that he inflicted on me," she said. Haynes will be sentenced on May 31. After the judge retired on Friday, Ms Haynes walked across to the dock where her father was still standing to face him. "He looked at me, that's all I care about," she said. In the words of Symphony, she added, in a slightly higher voice: "Maybe, if I am lucky, I will make it to 14. That would be good. I'd like to make it to 14."
