Bryony Piggin, 20, waived her right to anonymity and told the BBC she felt "betrayed" by her former best friend.She spoke out after Stefan Nikolic, 20, of Coast Road, Bacton, in Norfolk, was found guilty of assault by penetration.

On Friday, Recorder Simon Levene sentenced him to two years in prison, suspended for 24 months, and told him he had "misread" the situation.Describing her friendship with Nikolic before the attack, Ms Piggin said: "We were inseparable."The pair had been on a night out with friends in Norwich when the assault happened in April 2023.

The court heard that she had agreed Nikolic could stay at her home in the city, but when she woke up, he was assaulting her."It was incomprehensible that my best friend would do something like that to me," she said.

Ms Piggin, who is now unable to work due to her mental health,

said the assault left her with a sense of "confusion, betrayal and sadness".Growing up, she said she never saw writing as a viable career: "I'm working class, raised in a council house and to me, it wasn't considered an option."

After graduating from Cardiff University, where she studied English literature, Hanan felt teaching was her only plausible career but knew it was not for her, having already had some experience in the field."I was the first in my family to go to university and so I felt this pressure to have what's considered 'a proper job'," the 39-year-old said.
