A woman who was sexually abused as a child by groups of men has said she feels insulted after her compensation claims were denied. Fiona Goddard was 14 and living in a children's home in Bradford when the grooming and abuse began during the late 2000s. Goddard, who has waived her right to anonymity, said it was "really insulting" to see "another level of dismissal" after she made a legal claim against West Yorkshire Police and Bradford Council. West Yorkshire Police and Bradford Council said they were not able to comment on an ongoing legal matter.
Nine men were jailed in February 2019 at Bradford Crown Court after being convicted of sexual offences against her. The trial heard she was found by police at the home of a man in his 40s on more than one occasion when she was a child missing from local authority care.
