I was sexually assaulted on a plane - now I'm fighting for compensation

 

It was September last year when 24-year-old Kelly was on a Qatar Airways flight from Doha to London Gatwick after a trip to Africa.

Tucked underneath a blanket and with her headphones firmly on, she quickly fell asleep after a strenuous day of travel. The quiet murmuring of voices from the film playing on her screen helped her to drift off on a packed overnight flight.

But two hours before landing, Kelly - whose name has been changed for this article - was woken by the man sitting next to her, sexually assaulting her.

The man in his 60s has now been jailed but Kelly is finding it difficult to go on with her day-to-day life and is locked in a battle for compensation.

That's one ugly-looking pervert....

She wants money and seems to be exaggerating the effects of the ordeal in order to get more money  

How the hell do you stick it in in such cramped space without immediately attracting attention???

 

Or was it a fingerbang?

UPDATE

A woman who was sexually abused on a flight to London has been refused compensation.

 

The passenger was assaulted while sleeping on a Qatar Airways flight from Doha, Qatar to Gatwick airport in September last year.

However, his victim, who has maintained her anonymity and is referred to as Kelly, has been denied a payout through the Criminal Injuries Compensation.

He was found guilty of sexual assault by penetration

Note, she's most upset about not getting a cash payout to "compensate" her for the hand down her trousers.

 

Disgraceful she would get compensated by the taxpayer anyway. For a hand down the trouseres? 

 

This is  like some Woody Allen movie.

Digital penetration, he put a hand down her trousers.

 

So she should get compensated by the taxpayer, what did she lose her clitoris? Did her labia get amputated? This is insanity,.

This is why we live in such an effed up world, because people like you defend these gold diggers.

 

She can't get 20,000 pounds for having had a hand down her trousers, your heart bleeds.

The perpetrator was caught, he's paid the price.

 

Why on earth should this woman get taxpayer's money? To compensate her for what exactly?

So we do not live in an effed up world because some people think they can do whatever they feel for without consequences? 

 

Again you blaming the victim, not the abuser. It says a lot about you

Stop  talking nonsense, the guy was caught and paid the price. Clearly he faced the consequences.

 

The sick thing is how this woman thinks she's entitled to tens of thousands of pounds from the tax payer because she's had a hand down her trousers.

It's just disgraceful, these women being outraged because she can't cream tens ouf thousands of pounds off the taxpayer for a hand down her trousers. Sickening.

 

And of course the usual enablers defending this sick behaviour.

It clearly was not rape, read the article, it was sexual assault. If it had been rape it would have said "rape". It doesn't. It says "sexual assault". The guy put a hand down her trousers and she got up. They were sitting in an airplane.

Hand down the trousers, then she got up. Almost nothing happened, but she wants 50,000 pounds compensation.

 

And these people are defending her! Lol.

Na, what you want is no consequences for those who abuse and give the abused no or little possibilities to make sure there is consequences, even there is already little chance there will be consequences against abusers like this. 

 

And you are sick and tired of there is actually consequences, makes me wonder how you where teached as a kid to respect women, which you obviously dont

Again, stop talking nonsense, the guy already paid the consequences. He was convicted.

 

That's not what this thread is about. This tread is about how this woman is outraged that she can't get 50,000 pounds FROM THE TAXPAYER  compensation for the hand down her trousers.

As it should be, obviously. Women will end up having reserved areas on the flights. But then what will you do with men? As the number of fights between drunken males with increase. Maybe introduce total flight bans for any agressive behaviour. And that would include threats to parents travelling with young kids.

When I read this, I always wonder how you prove the lack of something (consent). But not an issue at all here. While it can become a nightmare when between people in established relationships.

The revised UCR definition of rape is: penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.

Reading in the same topic that the man was convicted of penetration makes it rape by definition .

How ever different countries have different definitions and laws of course.

I was taught that any kind of penetration with any kind of object without consent is rape.
