POP idol Justin Bieber’s mum has told how she suffered years of sex abuse from the age of three.

Pattie Mallette, 36, was attacked by a string of male and female abusers.
The ordeal sent her into a spiral of drug and booze addiction, wild sex and a suicide attempt. In a book just released she reveals: “I did what I was told. Just like a good little girl.
“I was sexually violated so many times as the years went by it began to feel normal.”
Canadian Pattie’s abusers included a male babysitter and a friend’s grandfather.
She writes: “There were so many different abusers — young and old, male and female, familiar faces and those I barely knew.”

Revelations ... Justin Bieber's mum Pattie Mallette has written her story to help others

Pattie recalls her first long-term molester. She writes: “He was a familiar face in my family. He walked into the room where I played. I thought, ‘Why is he naked?’ I was confused.”
Of the moment another pervert targeted her, she says: “I was helpless. I thought, ‘Again? Why me?’”
Pattie tried to kill herself at 17 by throwing herself in front of a truck.
That year she became pregnant with My World singer Justin by a boyfriend. She is now a devout Christian and told US TV yesterday that she has not had sex for 15 years — after vowing to stay celibate until she marries.
Triple platinum album star Justin, 18, wrote in a foreword to her book: “My mom is the strongest woman I’ve ever met.”
