BBC NEWS | UK | Lords issue landmark abuse ruling
Does this ruling make anyone else uncomfortable? I wholly support the ruling which enables, for example, victims of child abuse to pursue their abusers beyond the previous six year limit. That seems fair and sensible. However, in the specific case of the victim of the man the tabloids called the "Lotto Rapist", I am […]
