A woman who was raped, drugged and sexually assaulted in a car by strangers after a night out to celebrate a friend’s birthday says she now fears who she will “collide with” when she goes out.
The woman says she wants others who may have experienced similar attacks to know they are not alone and will be believed if they report it.
On the basis of her evidence, she was awarded £11,000 by The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) despite the fact that even though an investigation is still ongoing, no-one has been charged.
After contacting Hudgell Solicitors her case was taken on by CICA expert Laura Wardle, who specialises in criminal injury claims.
“My client is not alone in having experienced a traumatic rape, around 60,000 were recorded by police last year.
“It was important she reported it. She has been believed and been listened to and I was determined we should achieve the best possible outcome for her.”
