Premi Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-65090793 Rotherham grooming survivor awarded £425k after suing rapist By Tim Dale & Emma Glasbey BBC News A rapist convicted as part of the Rotherham grooming scandal has been ordered to pay £425,000 in damages to his victim by the High Court. The grooming survivor, who is known as Liz, started civil proceedings against Asghar Bostan in 2020. Bostan was jailed for nine years in 2018 following a trial at Sheffield Crown Court. Liz said she was "proud" to have brought the case and hoped it would show survivors could get justice. She said she was approached to take the action as a test case. "I decided to go with it, not having my hopes up, but we managed to get a result," she said. Her solicitor Robin Tilbrook described it as an "ice-breaker" of a case, which would allow "others to follow" …. Bostan was released from prison in 2022, and the Probation Service said sex offenders faced some of the "strictest licence conditions", adding: "If an offender breaches their conditions we will not hesitate to return them to prison to protect the public." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
