A man who groomed and abused a vulnerable teenager in care has had his prison sentence increased from 18 to 23 years by the Court of Appeal.

Our child abuse compensation team have recently represented Fiona, a survivor of child sexual exploitation and grooming in West Yorkshire. Her case forms part of a broader pattern of abuse that targeted vulnerable children in Keighley during the 1990s.

Our client, referred to as YZ, was involved in child sexual exploitation and grooming in Rotherham. Her sister was also murdered in an honour killing making this particular case incredibly sensitive and harrowing and our client very vulnerable.
