Justice Beyond Conviction: A Survivor's Victory in Civil Court

HJ Talks About Abuse

In this episode, Danielle and Hannah discuss a recent media-highlighted case where a woman sued her therapist for sexual assault and was awarded over £200,000 in damages by the High Court. Despite the lack of a criminal conviction, this case underscores the possibility of pursuing civil claims for justice. The survivor's journey, spanning over eight years, is a testament to resilience and the importance of seeking justice beyond the criminal courts.

This episode sheds light on the different standards of proof in criminal and civil cases and encourages survivors who haven't seen success in criminal courts to consider civil claims. The discussion also emphasises the importance of public awareness and support for survivors who bravely share their stories to help others.

We hope this episode provides valuable insights and encourages anyone affected by similar issues to seek advice and explore their options. Stay tuned as we follow the developments in this case and continue to support survivors seeking justice.
