The trial court summarized the testimony of the victim and her mother as follows: The victim in this case, J.O., is [Appellant]’s daughter. For approximately two years beginning when J.O. was seven years old, [Appellant] repeatedly sexually abused her. At the time of the abuse, J.O. lived with her mother and three brothers in a two- bedroom apartment in Philadelphia.
