Rotherham sexual exploitation survivor shocked at refusal of full compensation

A survivor of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham, England, has described her shock at being turned down for full compensation for what she suffered because authorities deemed she had consented to the abuse.

Sammy Woodhouse, who waived her entitlement to lifelong anonymity so she can campaign against sexual exploitation, said the UK's Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA)'s letter concluded: "I am not satisfied that you were a victim of sexual activity to which you did not in fact consent."
