“With the help of my friends at Hearts of Oak and other supporters like Jayne Senior, and my solicitor Robin Tilbrook, I sued my rapist Bostan to at last get real justice,” said LIZ. “Lord Pearson and Lord Vinson raised the money for the case, and I can’t thank them and their friends enough”.
“But I also did it to show that, having been badly let down by South Yorkshire Police and Rotherham Council, we survivors can take things into our own hands and fight back for real justice,” she said.
Baroness Cox, Secretary of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Honour Based Abuse said “I have met with many grooming gang survivors over the years and I am delighted that LIZ has been awarded this financial justice. Her great legal victory should bring hope to many other survivors.”
Peter Mcilvenna, director of the Free Speech Campaign Group ‘Hearts Of Oak’, said: “LIZ has been admirably courageous to see the legal process through to this victory.”
“Other grooming gang survivors should take heart from her success and contact us at Hearts of Oak,” said Peter. “We would like her ground-breaking civil action to be just the start of a wider campaign to get compensation for more victims and to punish more grooming gang rapists where it hurts.”
