Iain Wares child abuse: Lawyer calls for 'justice' for survivors

As the Head of Personal Injury for Irwin Mitchell in Scotland and a child abuse specialist, I'm deeply moved by the resilience and persistence demonstrated by the survivors in bringing Iain Wares to justice. Their courage in coming forward and sharing their harrowing experiences is nothing short of commendable. It is through their unwavering determination that a light can be shone on the dark corners of our society and hold perpetrators accountable for their actions.

An emotional and psychological journey

The journey to justice is often long and arduous, especially for survivors of child abuse. The emotional and psychological toll it takes can be overwhelming, yet these brave individuals have shown incredible strength. Their actions not only seek justice for themselves but also pave the way for others who may be suffering in silence to come forward.

It's vital that Iain Wares be brought back to Scotland to face criminal justice for his actions. The legal system must ensure that he is held accountable for the pain and suffering he has caused. This is not just about punishment; it is about acknowledging the harm done and providing a sense of closure and justice to the survivors.
