A woman abused by a priest as a teenager has become the first person to receive a pay-out over treatment she received from the Church following her complaint.
She took action against the Archdiocese of Westminster earlier this year after she learned that she had been referred to as “needy” and “manipulative” in emails between church officials handling her case.
The archdiocese has now agreed a financial settlement with the woman, making her the first in the UK to receive damages over the conduct of the Catholic Church following an allegation of abuse.
