Prison bosses forced to pay damages to jailed paedophile over toothache
A SEX beast has won a cash payout from prison bosses who couldn't find a dentist to treat his toothache.
Paedophile Neil Robertson launched the compensation claim from his cell in Peterhead Prison, it emerged yesterday.
He blamed prison chiefs for failing to find an NHS dentist to treat his toothache and sued the Scottish Prison Service over a delay in treatment.
He has now received an out-of-court settlement.
Hat-Tip to prisoners families voices for the link.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
I like the reference to 'SEX beast' just in case the reader is not up to speed on paedophilia being a VERY BAD THING INDEED!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a person's plight may not break the heart but I have been told that there are no dental services as would be ordinarily understood in prison, they just pull teeth out.
True?
WR: That was certainly the case during the 1970s, but then there was an improvement when the NHS took over from the Prison Medical Service.
ReplyDeleteFrom this case it looks as though the lack of care has gone backwards in time.
Well done to him for getting compensation. Hopefully it will encourage the prison service to improve its dental services to at least a standard where they are not so awful that they can get sued for it.
