That doesn't prove Harry raped her.

It doesn't, though it proves that intercourse took place, which proves statutory rape at least. Charlie Slater will also confirm Kat's story, having spoken to Harry after the truth came out. It's very very unlikely that a man would see his dead brother's name dragged through the mud to allow his daughter to win a false claim.

Kat likely has more proof than any of the other victims.

I'd love for Kat to get some compensation. It's money she could take with a clear conscience and would help get her life back on track. I hope that meeting other victims (which I assume is going to happen) will help her start to come to terms with the abuse.

She's going to be very unhappy when she finds out about Mo's duplicity though.

I wasn't saying she COULDN'T prove it, just that she would HAVE to. It's no good just saying, I had Zoe when I was underage, therefore Harry....

Yes-parkerman-Ive had a look the Criminal
Injuries info on Internet and its very complicated.
If an offence took place before victim was 18 and
was reported to police before 18th birthday -have
until 20th birthday to make claim. If not reported
until after 18th birthday -have 2yrs from date of
report to police to make claim. They have to
provide evidence and for it to be such that
a decision cabn easily be made!

A seperate point -the Sexual Offences Act 2003
significantly re-categorised sexual crimes/offences.
Actions which are now treated as rape were
previously indecent or sexual assualt.
As the judge told one of the defendants( in a
recent"celebrity" trial he wa limited to giving
him tarriffs in effect at the time ofthe offences.
If he could sentence him under current laws the
terrms would be much longer.

Regarding incest if the participants are both adults
-its likely to be just a caution. If one of them is
a child especially under 13-its much more serious.
Also allows for people not related by blood but
in position of trust eg mothers live-in partner
or step/parent.

Im not sure where this leaves Kat-I would like
her to get some justice and peace of mind.
But I hope the sake of real people who have
been similarly affected( and perhaps not taken
action yet) that EE have some good legal advice
etc that reflects current situation and is realistic
or the story may have adverse effect on victims.

Did Mas take out the money to bet with? I thought Shabham gave him the inheritance money so could that have helped him to buy or rent the Argee Bhajee
