Thread Name: BS: Compensation culture
Subject: BS: Compensation culture
A rapist serving an eight year sentence for a ten year catalogue of abuse against two girls and a boy (during which he raped one of the girls and the boy) has been granted legal aid to sue the Scottish Prison Service for compensation because he claims that he has lost self esteem and suffered 'stress, depression, disgust, embarrassment, humiliation and mental anguish' because of 'monotonous prison work and having no fitted toilets in his cell'. He's claiming £20000 in damages.

Even in today's litigious age this one really takes the cake! I wonder what settlement his victims got from the Criminal Injury Compensation Board?
