No-one is interested in the actual facts of the case anymore, just the payout figure.

Earlier this year a 29 year old rape victim was granted $21,750 compensation.

How in hells name does this woman think her case is worth $37M ?

No wonder 16 other women are now making claims against him to cash in, l bet if he said to one of them " you look nice today" they would bring a sexual harrassment law suit against him and the store.

Well thank you for stating the absolute bloody obvious. Of course losing an arm, leg or eye sight is worse than some creep making lewd comments at work.

Who here has said otherwise? Erm no one!

I think the fact that she's asking for $37 million has made a farce out of her claim and the legal system. She should be billed with costs for wasting the courts time.

The point I am making though is that if you lost an arm or leg a person wouldn't even get close to $37m in compensation.
