Campaigners call for fully-funded counselling services to be included in the upcoming Victims Bill.
By Jayne McCubbin & Katie LangtonEncouraging abuse victims to come forward without a specialist support system in place is "totally irresponsible", campaigners have said.
In 2002, North was jailed for 10 years after Katie and another victim reported him to police. Then aged 18, she had found the strength to give evidence against him in court. "I can't see how she could have been expected to have got over that and just got on with life," Sue added. But campaigners are concerned that a key element is missing - guaranteed funding written into law to provide the specialist support services needed to help these victims recover from their trauma.
