Woman who was sexually abused by caretaker in former courthouse sues abuser, council and State

A woman who claims she was sexually abused by a man who she says worked as a caretaker in a former courthouse building can continue her action for damages against a county council which owned the building, the High Court ruled.

The 36-year-old woman, who says she was abused at various locations including the courthouse, is suing the alleged abuser, the council, and the State. The defendants deny the claims.
