Members of our team have previously settled cases involving sexual abuse that took place at Strangeways/HMP Manchester. The Claimant was sent to an adult prison while under the age of 18 and whilst there was sexually abused by a Church Army Captain. The Church Army Captain was not employed by the prison and so there were complicated issues surrounding who was responsible for the abuse suffered by the Claimant. After negotiation the case was successfully pursued against the Church Army and significant compensation was awarded. The team would like to hear from anyone else that has suffered similar abuse.
If you suffered abuse at Church Army and would like to talk to one of our specialist child abuse lawyers in confidence, call 01924 881 000.
