Bouncing onto the outdoor courts on frosty mornings in Launceston, northern Tasmania, the naturally talented netballer was in her element.
After losing her dad in a fatal car accident a few years earlier, Tiffany found happiness on these courts — joy she thought nobody would be able to steal away. "I would never have perceived that that would be where I met my greatest threat," she said.
The threat was disguised as an upstanding citizen. He was a volunteer medic and masseur at the Northern Tasmanian Netball Association, who also worked as a nurse on the children's ward of the Launceston General Hospital.
James Geoffrey Griffin was 58. Tiffany Skeggs was 11 years old.
"It was a predator in his playground," Ms Skeggs said.
"He had access to every possible child that he wanted to use and abuse in that way."
Ms Skeggs said the sexual abuse started with long hugs and kissing, and quickly escalated.
Sometimes Griffin would pick her up for netball on Saturday mornings, and on the way there he would park his car and molest her. He also sexually abused her in the first aid room at the netball precinct while he was on duty.
She said the first time she remembers being raped by Griffin was at his home when she was 15 years old. The abuse occurred regularly, over several years, and at various locations.
According to the brief of evidence given to prosecutors by Tasmania Police, obtained by Ms Skeggs through a Right to Information request, Griffin also took sexually explicit photos of her and sent them to an associate.
It stated also that Griffin told a close associate about his offending against Ms Skeggs and abused her at parties hosted by associates of his. Ms Skeggs said she was groomed to believe she was Griffin's only victim, until one day in 2019 she saw him surrounded by children at the netball courts. "Something in me just clicked," she said. "I didn't have a choice anymore.
"I felt like the only hope that they had to not live the life that I did."
