Police praise the bravery of victims
Tuesday 9th September 2008, 2:29PM BST.
THE police investigation into the Eugene Hughes case began in April last year.
Head of CID Detective Inspector Ashley Nicholas said it had begun when the first victim had bravely contacted police and given a harrowing account of the sexual abuse she had suffered at Hughes’ hands.
Detectives had since investigated further independent allegations of sexual assault that Hughes had made on young girls.
Child protection officer Detective Constable Lisa McMillan said Hughes’ history of sexual offending had spanned many years. But she said the sport of judo should not be tainted by Hughes’ actions.
A free helpline for adults who were abused in childhood is available by calling 0800 085 3330. The line is open weekdays at various times. See website for more details. Alternatively people can log on to www.napac.org.uk.
