The victim has endured more than 40 years of 'psychological injuries', her lawyers say
A sexual abuse survivor who was assaulted by a family member when she was a child has received a compensation payout of more than £100,000.Lawyers at Hudgell Solicitors said the mother, 53, has now received £138,832 in account of the "psychological injuries" she has endured for 40 years.The victim, who has life-long anonymity under the Sexual Offences Act 1992, received the payout following a seven-year legal battle, the firm said."This is for my kids," she said.
A Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal ruled that the woman should be assessed by an independent expert, who confirmed she had suffered a disabling mental injury. "I'm satisfied that my client has now finally been awarded the compensation she fully deserves. Her childhood was taken from her and the psychological damage from the abuse has caused her to miss out on so much in life."
