A Canadian law professor has settled for £40,000 ($57,900) in damages
from the Church of England for abuse she suffered at the hands of a
vicar 40 years ago. Julie Macfarlane, who teaches at the
University of Windsor, Ontario, was preyed upon by a priest at the age
of 16 in the mid-1970s while undergoing a religious crisis in
Chichester. The abuse continued for a year, before she left for
university.
She made a complaint to the Australian branch of the church in 1999, as the minister had moved there. He resigned when he discovered he would be subject to a disciplinary hearing.
