There will be claims for compensation for compensation, and rightly so if it turns out that there is a case to be made for abuse here.
But please don't let that be a weapon for proving that there was no abuse.
When the enormity of the clerical abuse was emering in Ireland an organisation called L.O.V.E. was created (can't remember what it stands for - but it had little to do with LOVE).
Its purpose seemed to be to prove that most of the claims of having been abused were made for financial gain, thus making the abused children victims once again.
I belive the way rape is handled by the judicial system has the consequence that the majority of rapes are never reported.
I agree with Richard Bridge, let's see the evidence before coming to a conclusion one way or the other.
