After the inquest, Rachel told the BBC how Semina "spent all of her childhood singing and dancing on her phone," and would pretend to be a talk show host.
In March 2021 Semina told her mum she had been sexually assaulted in January that year, the inquest heard.
At the inquest, she continued: "I think to say to a 12-year-old child 'it is going to take 18 months to two years to go to court, do you really want it hanging over your head' and 'it's your word against his' is not what any woman or child who has been through sexual assault or rape needs to hear and she was 12 with autism.".
Before the tragedy, in the summer of 2020, Semina had begun Snapchatting an older boy, who Rachel believes was grooming her daughter, the inquest heard.
Rachel said within an hour of Semina's passing, there were "endless" abusive posts being shared on social media.
