Rapist Due to Pay Back Damages
A rapist got off without paying damages because the lawyers told the victim it would be useless to try to get them.
That was in 1988.
In 2004, the rapist, who had been jailed for life, bought a lotto ticket on a day release and WON! $12 million.
Now the woman, who was 59 at the time, wants the court to order him to pay damages from a crime committed almost 20 years ago.
The normal limit - six years.
The Law Lords are considering it.
So, what was the guy with a life sentence doing out anyway?
And he raped a 59-year old?
And, one more thing, what is a guy in jail for life going to do with $12 million in winnings?
And, one more one more thing…what’s with the lawyers telling the woman it wasn’t worth trying to get damages?
