Victim of abuse by jailed former chaplain to the Queen tells of her relief

A WOMAN who was subjected to repeated indecent assaults by a former chaplain to the Queen when she was a teenager has told of her relief at seeing him jailed. Canon Stephen Palmer abused the girl at his home provided by the Church of England when he was assistant curate at Holy Rood in Stubbington in the mid-1970s.
I feel relieved as he’s told me so many times that nobody would believe me and I couldn’t do anything about it. I have done something about it – I has been believed by the jury.
