Figure 1: Convicted

It s one thing to see your rapist go to prison. But it is another to get compensation for the assaults that ruined your life. Sadly, this is no easy task.

Opus Sanctus helps the Victims achieve justice in the Civil Courts.

The scope of the abuse cannot be underestimated. The Daily Mail put the number of Rotherham Victims at 1,400. Given that the population of Rotherham is c250,000 (page 3 of Jay report), this means that an estimated 6% of Rotherham girls were raped over a fifteen year period. 6% is close to one in twenty.

Figure 2: Convicted

At a national level, GB News investigations have identified at least 50 cities and towns in England where the problem appears to have been going on for 20 30 years and has ruined the lives of at least 100,000 girls. Sarah Champion, the Labour MP for Rotherham, has said she thinks it might be 1,000,000 girls. It is asserted that a reasonable and conservative estimate of the number of victims is 250,000.

Wikipedia has appalling accounts of the abuse.

Cost

You would think that it should be easy for any Victim to sue her rapist. It s not. At the minimum, it takes about 65,000 to take this sort of case through the civil courts.

The process involves a number of stages:

1.       Anonymity order ~ Preserves the anonymity of the Victim

2.       Freezing order ~ Stops the rapist hiding his assets

3.       Medical report ~ Assesses the impact of the rapes and abuse on the Victim s life including loss of earning capacity

4.       Accountant's report ~ Assesses the compensation for loss of earnings and suffering

5.       Court hearing for an application for damages

6.       Enforcement action ~ Selling the rapist s house or other assets

By the time that the professionals and court fees have been paid, the total comes to 65,000.

A fully costed example of the court process is here.

Opus Sanctus exists to raise money for Victims, help them through the process and then recoup Opus Sanctus expenses from the final pay out so that another victim can be helped.

English Lobby s aim is to recoup the litigation expenses ( 65,000) from successful claims and then recycle the money back into funding a new case.

English Lobby needs to start with 65,000 to get the first case moving but can easily have more than one case running at any time.

Transparency

Opus Sanctus and English Lobby promise full transparency on every case and will provide a full reconciliation upon request by donors.
