Victims of CSE should not have their compensation cut says UKIP.
Anti CSE campaigner and Rotherham MEP Jane Collins has
attacked he government's position of cutting compensation for victims of sexual
abuse who have criminal records.
Mrs Collins said that many of the victims would have committed crimes
because they had fallen into a spiral of despair and desperation after being
introduced to drugs and drink by their abusers.
"When I spoke to victims it became evident very quickly that drugs and
alcohol were the main control mechanisms used by the abusers as both a lure and
a way to dominate their victims.
"This led to many dropping out of school and falling into petty crime to
feed habits developed by being abused.
