    Might have a sense of perceived justice, but relying on your attacker to win the lottery many years later and have the stupidity to let people know is just as big a lottery,which the law is not meant to be!

    I know what Pete means...if they hadn't won the lottery I doubt if the press (i.e. Daily Mail) would've kicked up such a fuss.

    It was never right that a child molested by her father say 20 years ago, could sue the mother if she knew about it going on, but not the molester

    Ya gotta love British justice!!

    My other point was how long does this last? Bankrupts are clear in 2 years and do not have to repay people if they win the lottery 10 years later. I'm not against them chasing this individual but will have to study the basis on which it was arrived at. (after studying todays cards of course - must have some sense of priorities!).

    Why didn't she sue him when the offence was committed?

    It's hard to have a battle of wits when your opponent is unarmed.

    He never had any money, the legal system gave her £5000 compo. Not much for a life-time of memories of rape.

    He never had any money...that's precisely my point. Now that he has a few million in spare change, she decided to sue.

    DUH!! She was only ONE of a lot of people. She is NOT sueing for the money, she is doing it, along with the others to have the law changed so it matches the similar law for those 'related to a rapist,etc'.

    If you read the reports, if she got any money it goes to charity.
