A VICTIM of horrific abuse at an East Yorkshire care home feels justice can finally be done after a landmark court ruling.
Graham Baverstock was sexually abused as a child by Brother James Carragher at St William’s Community Home in Market Weighton.
Carragher was a member of Catholic organisation the De La Salle Order of Christian Brothers at the time.
An ongoing police investigation is looking into alleged abuse committed by others at the home.
Now the Supreme Court has ruled the Catholic Church and the Brothers are both liable to pay compensation to Mr Baverstock and more than 170 other victims who were abused at the home from the 1960s to the 1990s.
