A mother has told a jury that she sat and watched television while her 10-year-old daughter was gang-raped in the next room.
Caroline Dunsmore, 46, is currently serving a 12-year prison sentence for her part in abuse of her daughter Dana Fowley, now 29, in 1990.
She is giving evidence at the High Court in Dunfermline in the trial of two men accused of raping Ms Fowley.
The rape is alleged to have taken place at a caravan park in Perthshire.
Neil Kendall and Ian Davidson are accused of raping Ms Fowley, who has waived her right to anonymity, while she stayed at a chalet in Abernethy Caravan Park with her mother and step-father William King.
Dunsmore described to the court how her husband, who has since died, had picked 10-year-old Dana from her bed, blindfolded her and removed her underwear.
Dana was in some state. She was crying and shaking, but I didn't go through because William King would have battered me

She then described how three men then took turns raping her daughter.
She said she did nothing about the abuse because of her fear of her husband.
Dunsmore added: "Dana was face down when Neil Kendall was having sex with her.
"I saw it with my own eyes.
"She was crying and she didn't want it to happen to her."
Dunsmore said that following the rape, Neil Kendall stayed in the family's chalet.
She added: "Dana was in some state. She was crying and shaking, but I didn't go through because William King would have battered me."
Special defence
The mother told the court that the second accused, Ian Davidson, later had sex with her daughter while she had sex with her husband in the same room.
She said: "It happened at least two or three times. Me and William King were having sex at the same time as Ian Davidson was having sex with Dana."
Joanna Cherry QC, prosecuting, said: "How did it come about that the four of you were in the same bedroom having sex?"
The woman replied that it was her husband's idea.
Later, when asked if she could identify Mr Kendall and Mr Davidson now, Dunsmore pointed to the men in the dock.
Mr Kendall, 44, of Citadel Place in Edinburgh, denies raping Dana Fowley while acting with others at the caravan park between 30 April 1990 and 27 June 1990.
He has lodged a special defence of alibi, claiming he was not within the caravan at the time of the rape, and a separate special defence of incrimination, claiming the attack was carried out by three other men.
Mr Davidson, 54, of Murrayburn Place, Edinburgh, denies two charges of rape and two of using lewd, indecent and libidinous practices towards the girl by having sex with Dunsmore in front of her, and forcing her to perform an oral sex act on him.
The alleged offences involving Mr Davidson happened between February 1987 and June 1994 at various addresses in Edinburgh.
He has lodged a special defence of alibi, claiming he was living at various addresses in Manchester at the time.
The trial, before Lady Stacey, continues.
