A woman allegedly indecently assaulted by an Olympic athlete says her spirit, childhood and self-esteem were left broken. Arthur Parkin is at the front of the photo, fourth from the left. A couple years later, at a home in Auckland, the witness said Parkin indecently assaulted her while sitting in the lounge while the television was on. "It's been a hidden dirty little secret my whole life," the witness told defence lawyer Arthur Fairley during his cross-examination on Tuesday.
