Child abuse survivor succeeds in claim against Catholic Church

We are happy to report that one of our clients has recently succeeded in a compensation claim for injuries suffered at the hands of a Catholic priest for childhood sexual abuse.
Background – the abuse. Our client was sexually assaulted by his family priest Father Michael Smith from the approximate age of 15 to 17. This abuse took place at Corpus Christi Roman Catholic Church, Tonbridge, Kent where Smith was the parish priest.
