The claim in respect of the compensation is relatively non controversial, there is or there is not evidence of this. In respect of the STD, the problem arises that if a doctor made this diagnosis, it makes little sense for the doctor to wait two years till he is informed that she is exhibiting signs of sexual knowledge before acting. This raises the question of what the 'STD' if any might have been. Perhaps a cold sore?
The Scottish authorities investigated as they should, but did not find enough evidence to prosecute. That is normal. If you claim that they have evidence but buried it, or that they did not investigate properly, then the onus is on you to provide compelling evidence of this, not simly that you don't like their conclusions.
Panorama walked away from this case having investigated it. Just because expectations of campaigners are raised by a journalist is not evidence. Clearly, if there is no body of evidence that is worth presenting in court it would be completely unacceptable to publish allegations, however intensely they are believed in by some. The British press is not noted for being shrinking violets, so if Panorma had a real case, this would have been aired - if you claim otherwise, then you need to present clear evidence on this - not just your belief.
To date what I see, is a distressed child who on the balance of probability was sexually abused, but who knows by whom. I see evidence of at least two strands of investigation that led no where useful. There after I see an industry of misery, that has decided that this is a cause celebre, who believe without evidence, and who are trying to stir up as much innuendo as possible because they are certain of the guilt of given people and of the corrupt nature of the system. Anyone who questions their position supports child abuse.
Have you considered the possibility that you might be wrong? Have you considered that innocent people may be damaged by your crusade? Have you considered the damage that your campaign may continue to inflict on Holly Grieg and her family?
