THE teenage girl caught having sex TWICE with her big brother told last night how she has been branded a monster.
Kirsty Finlayson — now facing jail for the sordid act — claims she can't remember the double romp in a train station lift.
But she admits the incident has left her unable to sleep and eat after destroying her family.
And she sobbed: "I've been made out to be a monster and have had to deal with people calling me a prostitute.
"It's changed my life forever. I wish I could turn back time."
Kirsty, 18 — living in a homeless hostel at the time — told how she'd gone to meet Richard at Motherwell train station in June last year to borrow money.
She said they were waiting on the platform for his train home when she drunkenly suggested going outside for a cigarette.
They both went into the lift — and within a matter of seconds started to have sex.
Kirsty said: "I'd met Richard at the station because I had no money.
"I don't know if he offered or I asked to borrow some money.
"I was basically homeless, drunk and needing help.
"I was waiting with him on the platform for his train home, before I went to get mine.
"It's not an excuse, but I really can't remember everything that happened next."
Torn apart ... family snap
Kirsty added: "I know Richard says I suggested it, but I didn't. I'm not going to suggest to my brother to have sex, am I?
"I don't know what he said to me but the next thing I can remember is having sex.
"I can remember thinking 'Oh my God' and I told Richard at one point, 'I can't do this'.
"We stopped and went back outside the lift.
"He said something else to me and we went back inside the lift.
"We had sex again and I don't know why."
When they returned to the platform, a station worker told them he'd report them to cops — after the sordid 15-minute romp was captured on new CCTV cameras.
Kirsty said she immediately felt sickened by her actions and broke down in tears on the train home to her hostel in Hamilton.
She said: "All I could think of was, 'Oh my God, that was my brother'. I felt sick and was disgusted with myself.
"Richard texted me and said, 'Do you know we've just been caught?'. He told me not to tell anyone and I didn't.
"When I got back to where I was staying, I went straight into the shower. I just couldn't wait to wash, I felt so dirty.
"Then I went straight to bed and cried myself to sleep.
"The cleaner came in and asked if I was OK? I told her no but I couldn't tell her why not."
But Kirsty collapsed a few days later when two cops traced her.
She said: "They asked me about the boy in the lift.
"I just told them I hadn't seen him again.
"But I started shaking when they told me they wanted me to come in for questioning. I suddenly felt sick and collapsed.
"At the station I told them everything I could remember and when they caught up with Richard he admitted it. We've never spoken to each other since."
Devastated ... mum
At Hamilton Sheriff Court last month, Kirsty and Richard admitted having unlawful sexual intercourse. They are due to be sentenced on Friday.
In court it was said Richard gave her £20 after they emerged from the lift.
However, she insists the money was not for the sex — but to help her get home.
After word got out about the case Kirsty, who later moved out the hostel into a flat, had a brick thrown through her window and was hounded out of her home.
She said: "I've been to hell and back but I want to move on and try to be a better person.
"I will spend the rest of my life trying to make it up to my mum and dad. It was so hard when they found out.
"I just can't sleep, I can't eat. I can't escape it all going around in my own head and I don't have the answers to my own questions. I don't know why I did what I did.
"I'm so sorry and I hope one day people can forgive me."

'Criminality' claims over Rangers owner Craig Whyte
Evidence of alleged criminality in the past business dealings of Rangers FC's new owner has been uncovered by a BBC Scotland investigation.
It found that Craig Whyte was banned from being a director for seven years.
The BBC heard allegations that Mr Whyte controlled a company despite his ban, an offence which could incur a two-year jail term. It was later wound up after misleading potential shareholders.
Mr Whyte denied all the claims "in the strongest possible terms".
The 40-year-old businessman from Motherwell owns an 85% stake in Rangers.
Mr Whyte paid Sir David Murray £1 for the Glasgow club six months ago, and settled its £18m debt to Lloyds Banking Group.
Rangers: An Inside Story, which was broadcast on BBC1 Scotland at 19:00 on Thursday, heard allegations about the man who took over the 138-year-old club in May.
The BBC understands Mr Whyte was banned from acting as a director after the government began pursuing his company, Vital Holdings Ltd, for failing to produce satisfactory accounts.
The programme also uncovered evidence that HM Revenue and Customs was chasing some of Mr Whyte's companies for unpaid taxes.
The programme heard claims about Mr Whyte's involvement in a company called Re-tex Plastic Technology, during his ban.
Re-tex was wound up in 2003, after it offered to sell shares to the public using company statements which were said to contain false and misleading information.
The firm was investigated by the UK government's Insolvency Service - the agency that probes corrupt business practice.
Robert Burns, head of investigations at the agency, said: "We took the view that the company was being controlled, or certainly had the involvement of, an individual who was disqualified. That raised concerns."
'Be prosecuted'
When asked who that individual was, he said: "I'm talking about Craig Whyte, who had been disqualified as a director in June 2000, for seven years.
"We found a number of suggestions, and indeed evidence, that he was in some way, shape or form, behind the company. For example he was signatory to the bank account, he was giving instructions to certain payments.
"In relation to his involvement in running the company then it is an offence and the individual can be prosecuted. Clearly there would have had to be a criminal investigation and a trial."
Responding to the claims, Mr Whyte's lawyers said he had a small investment in Re-tex, but was never a director or a de facto director.
Mr Burns told the BBC that his team had uncovered evidence that Mr Whyte had taken two sums of £100,000 from the company, apparently to pay a tax bill.
"There's no trace of the money being received by the Inland Revenue," Mr Burns said.
He told the programme that Mr Whyte had appointed fake auditors called Mullet and Co, which signed off misleading Re-tex accounts.
Mr Whyte's lawyers said their client had no control over Re-tex's bank account or finances and denied "in the strongest possible terms" withdrawing any money from the company accounts or appointing any auditors.
'Outsourcing services'
The Insolvency Service believes a convicted fraudster, Kevin Sykes, was one of the individuals behind Mullet and Co.
Mr Burns said: "We have investigated a number of companies which Kevin Sykes has been behind.
"We also know Mr Sykes because of a Serious Fraud Office investigation. In October 2004, he was convicted and received a sentence in total of eight years for his part in a theft from a pension fund which totalled £3m."
This conviction came three years after Sykes' last known involvement with Craig Whyte.
The documentary reveals other previous links between Mr Whyte and Sykes, with the latter acting as secretary in four of Mr Whyte's companies which were dissolved in the late 1990s.
Mr Whyte moved to Monaco for several years around 2000, following his disqualification and the demise of 24 companies in which he was involved.
In March 2001, Sykes told his bankruptcy hearing at the High Court in London that he travelled to Monaco to be paid in cash by Mr Whyte for "outsourcing services".
Mr Whyte's lawyers said its client had never been a close business associate of Kevin Sykes, and denied paying him a retainer.
Rangers' finances have hit the headlines in recent months, after a judge ruled more than £3m of its assets should be frozen, pending further court action.
The Court of Session in Edinburgh heard that a disputed tax bill of up to £49m left the SPL champions at a "real and substantial risk of insolvency". The tax hearing is due to begin next month.
The documentary comes just days after Rangers announced it was withdrawing all co-operation with the BBC.
In a statement, Craig Whyte and Rangers FC said: "As a result of the BBC's approach, Mr Whyte and Rangers FC believe there is a strong risk that the programme will mislead and misinform viewers about matters concerning the club, and has suspended the BBC's access to the club.
"Mr Whyte and Rangers wish to reassure viewers - and those of the club's valued fans who may be watching - that the best interests and secure future of the club are and will remain their priority."

Quit fears for Celtic boss Neil Lennon as death threats and Old Firm row take toll
Neil Lennon finds himself caught at the centre of a gathering storm today ahead of a crunch meeting to determine the future of Scottish football’s Old Firm derby.
Lennon’s future as Celtic manager has been left in the balance after he was forced to draft in round-the-clock personal security because of a series of sinister death threats.
However, the former Northern Ireland international seems determined not to be forced out, despite the sectarian hate campaign — and yesterday received the backing of one of his leading players.
The latest twist came when Lennon was forced to pull out of a trip to Co Donegal at the weekend because of concerns over his safety.
It follows a turbulent week for the Old Firm which has seen both Glasgow clubs in the spotlight following chaotic scenes at last Wednesday’s explosive Scottish Cup replay.
A high-level meeting involving the Scottish Executive and officials from both clubs will be held today to discuss the game and thrash out how to avoid similar scenes in future fixtures.
The teams meet again in the League Cup final at Hampden Park in 12 days’ time.
Hanging over that fixture is the long-term future of Lennon, who has been repeatedly targeted by bigoted thugs since joining Celtic as a player in late 2000.
The latest threat came last Friday when a suspicious package, later identified as a hoax nail- bomb, was intercepted at a sorting office in Ayrshire.
Earlier this year bullets were sent in the post to Lennon and two other Catholic Northern Ireland players at the club, Paddy McCourt and Niall McGinn.

Neil Lennon 'will not let death threats drive him out of Glasgow
NEIL Lennon will not give up his home in Glasgow, despite having to install a panic alarm amid fears for his safety, a leading lawyer who is close to the club's board said yesterday.
Paul McBride, QC, said the Celtic manager was determined to stay in the city, close to his friends and colleagues, and urged police to do more to apprehend those responsible for making death threats against the 39-year-old.
The former Celtic and Northern Ireland midfielder has had a panic button installed at his property in the West End, where he lives with partner Irene McCloy and their young son, Gallagher. It was fitted about two weeks ago on police advice in the wake of heightened fears for the safety of Lennon and his family. The Celtic boss was forced to evacuate Ms McCloy and his son from their home after receiving a threatening phone call in the middle of the night.
The death threats and sectarian abuse have intensified after last week's Old Firm fixture, where Lennon became involved in an altercation with Rangers assistant manager Ally McCoist. Both men were last night issued with touchline bans over the confrontation - a two-match penalty for McCoist and a four-match one for Lennon, who already had a misconduct offence this season.
After the game, police intercepted packages addressed to Lennon containing a fake nail-bomb and bullets, and concern is mounting over the nature of comments directed towards him on internet forums.
There had been speculation Lennon was considering his future with the club after last week's game, but Mr McBride told The Scotsman he was committed to staying.
"The alarm was installed two or three weeks ago - it's a black box which is linked to the police," he said. "About two weeks ago, he got a phone call in the middle of the night and he had to move his child and partner out of the house, and they were taken to a hotel. But he'll stay in Glasgow among his friends and colleagues, and he'll definitely stay with Celtic."
The panic button is part of heightened security measures to ensure the safety of Lennon, who is accompanied to club training sessions by a security guard.
In the aftermath of the most recent Old Firm game, the clubs, police and politicians agreed to consider an increased "enforcement of the law" over online abuse, but Mr McBride said police had to take immediate action.
"If you go online just now, you'll see people describing how to kill Neil Lennon," he said. "(Strathclyde Chief Constable] Stephen House and (First Minister] Alex Salmond gave a commitment this week and Strathclyde Police has a dedicated hate-crimes unit. They've got the technology and officers to deal with this, so why people have not been apprehended, I can't understand."

UDA Terrorists
Celtic manager Neil Lennon recieves death threat from loyalist paramilitaries
LOYALIST paramilitaries yesterday made a sinister death threat to Celtic boss Neil Lennon.
In a coded call from Northern Ireland to our sister paper the Daily Mirror, a man claimed Lennon would be punished for "mouthing off" at the nephew of a top UDA man.
The call was made just 48 hours before tomorrow's Old Firm SPL clash. The caller said: "Lennon must be punished.
"He can only ignore this for so long. This weekend we take action. The UDA."
A source said last night that Lennon had reacted to sickening verbal abuse he received from two boys aged nine and 13 after a recent Old Firm match. The boys are nephews of a senior UDA terrorist figure based in north Antrim.
The source added: "Things have turned seriously nasty.
"The men demanded an apology from Lennon but he refused and now they feel they have to take action. They can't be seen to be treated like this, they'd be a laughing stock.
"They planned to kneecap him but because he's a manager, they've threatened to go further. This is a death threat."
The source said UDA men from Bellshill, Lanarkshire, had been ordered to carry out the operation and had been tailing Lennon, who was sent bullets in the post from Northern Ireland six weeks ago.
He added: "They know his every movement. The boys mean business."
A senior security source said: "An intelligence team is dealing with the threats. Once police are aware of this threat, he will be offered protection. It would be heightened for his appearance at the Old Firm match."
