‘No closure’ for woman who had child by undercover police officer

A woman who had a child by an undercover officer has said "there is no closure for me" after receiving £425,000 (€539,500) in compensation from Britain’s biggest police force.

Known only as Jacqui, the woman has a son with Bob Lambert, who was revealed in 2012 as a member of the now-defunct Special Demonstration Squad which placed officers in deep-cover roles between 1968 and 2008.

She was one of several women taking High Court action against the Metropolitan Police over the actions of officers such as Lambert, whom she knew as ‘Bob Robinson’ when a young activist in the 1980s.
