\u201cThe notion of satanic ritual abuse was\u00a0dismissed as \u2018utter nonsense\u2019<\/a>\u00a0by Mrs. Justice Pauffley in care proceedings in the family court at (London\u2019s) Royal Courts of Justice in March. Two children were coerced by their mother and her boyfriend into alleging horrendous sexual abuse and murder of babies by their father and others in a secret satanic cult…. \u2018There was no satanic or other cult at which babies were murdered and children sexually abused,\u2019 the judge said. The claims were \u2018fabricated\u2019 and \u2018baseless.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cBut the total lack of physical evidence does not deter the compensation chasers. At a child abuse training day in London last week run by the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers, delegates were told that satanic abuse was a reality. Barrister Lee Moore \u2013 a self-proclaimed satanic abuse survivor \u2013 and solicitor Peter Garsden, who are respectively the past and current president of the Association of Child Abuse Lawyers, \u2018kept going on about satanic ritual abuse,\u2019 according to a barrister who was present.<\/p>\n \u201cShe went on: \u2018Peter Garsden told the assembled band of lawyers that SRA was prevalent and would be accepted as such, \u201cgiven time.\u201d The point is that at a conference of \u2018cutting-edge\u2019 personal injury lawyers specialising in child abuse, only one delegate was prepared to challenge these SRA proponents.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n \u2013 From \u201c<\/em>Satanic Panic Ritual Defence<\/em><\/a>\u201d\u00a0by\u00a0Rosie Waterhouse<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0Private Eye (June 26) \u2013 hat tip,\u00a0<\/em>British False Memory Society<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n One difference on our side of the pond: The \u201ccompensation chasers\u201d in American ritual abuse cases were much less likely to be lawyers than therapists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" July 2, 2015 \u201cThe notion of satanic ritual abuse was\u00a0dismissed as \u2018utter nonsense\u2019\u00a0by Mrs. Justice Pauffley in care proceedings in the family court at (London\u2019s) Royal Courts of Justice in March.
