I think everyone would agree with you on that point. What I find disturbing is the fact that all these people are claiming to be victims now that there is a chance of some kind of monetary compensation. Do rape victims get awarded thousands from their attackers, have any victims of the church employees been awarded huge payouts for the distress caused to them ?. I just find it rather odd that in this case victims could be awarded compensation some 30/40 years later, just what is the reasoning behind it ?
I have not read any reports about one single person being repeatedly abused over a lengthy period of time, therefore I find it hard to believe it when someone says "it ruined my life when he pinched my arse 40 years ago" ....... Bollox, that child had other disturbing issues that ruined their lives but what the hell, get my name down for a bit of compo !!

You're right, some of these girls must be devastated they were only raped once. I'm sure they must have been praying for it to be happen multiple times, so they could claim bigger compensation in 30 years time.
To belittle their treatment by comparing it to receiving corporal punishment at school........ Jesus wept!
As four eyes says, because you are entitled to compensation doesn't mean to say that many of the victims will actually claim it. And as he/she also pointed out, the value of these claims are generally a lot less than you might think. I'm inclined to believe they'd much rather it hadn't happened in the first place, than have a couple of thousand quid in the bank. But each to their own....
I think I'm going to stop reading this thread now
