Troubles-Related Sexual Crimes and Child Sexual Abuse

Troubles-Related Sexual Crimes and Child Sexual Abuse
That this Assembly accepts that crimes of a sexual nature, including child sexual abuse, have a particularly insidious effect on society and have a long-lasting physical and psychological impact on the victim and their wider family; calls on the UK Government to ensure that victims of Troubles-related sexual violence can seek a legacy investigation as part of the proposed Legacy Commission and that crimes of a sexual nature, including rape and child sexual abuse, are included as a separate qualifying criteria alongside serious injury and death; and further calls on the First Minister and deputy First Minister to write to the UK Government to ensure these often-overlooked crimes are included in the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill.
