Rape - Resulting in pregnancy

A woman’s worst nightmare happened when a sexual assault resulted in her falling pregnant. She had already split up with her partner, following a difficult and toxic relationship. He would not leave her alone with constant phone calls and messages.

One evening, late on, he showed up at her door and forced his way inside; he had been out drinking. He was full of apologies and wanted to get back to together.

Following a heated discussion he forced himself on her and raped her violently before leaving when she called the police.

The trauma of the rape was confounded when she found out that she was pregnant. He was charged with the crime and Victim Support helped her, but there was no moving on from the assault when she was carrying the baby.

A claim was made to the CICA after she approached Winston Solicitors and she received an award of compensation. The award, reflecting both the rape and the pregnancy was £16,500.

Client feedback

I instructed Winstons to assist me in a CiCA application. Keertan and Heidi made it a stress free process. The communication was amazing and all conversations were done in a sensitive and compassionate way. The knowledge and advice I received was comprehensive but helped me understand each stage of the process. I needed an out of time waiver and was so grateful that they achieved this and I received and award that accounted for all of the offences. I could not recommend them enough. Thank you so much for your help.

Me and my little sister both got compensation although mine took a lot longer due to the complexity of the case. My main case worker and even the ones that picked up the case when she was unwell did everything above and beyond to provide me with as much information and clarity. I would 100% recommend to anyone how is looking for justice in which the police failed to provide. Not only this the fee they take as their own fees is very reasonable. Not only did she help me with my case but she also helped me in a person level to acsess files of my case that I struggled to obtain. This held no importance to her but she helped me either way. Anytime I called or emailed I got a prompt reply. Thank you to you all I wish you nothing but success and blessings.
