A seven-year-old girl who was abducted and abused by a paedophile has been granted a significant increase in compensation, her family’s solicitor has said.
The girl, known as Child A, was snatched from her home in Cardiff and sexually assaulted by Craig Sweeney when she was aged three in January 2006.
The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) originally awarded her more than Pounds 8,800, later increased to Pounds 12,177.50 after a review.
A further appeal to a tribunal service has led to the amount being “significantly increased” after the girl’s mother appeared at a hearing.
