Man in UK claims woman sexually abused him when he was 11 in return for chocolate

The defence for Tiffany Carter alleges that the victim only wants £120,000 compensation and that his claims are contradictory.

East Sussex: A man has claimed that a junior matron at an East Sussex school in England paid him with Mars chocolate bars for sex 30 years ago.

But the defence argued that he only made the allegations because he wanted £120,000 compensation from the school, a court heard on Thursday.

According to a report in the Daily Mail, the alleged victim is set to sue St Andrews Prep School in East Sussex over claims that Tiffany Carter enticed him into her bedroom with chocolate bars and the chance to watch TV, way back in 1986.

Carter allegedly had sex with the then 11-year-old victim, while working as a junior matron at the school aged 17.

However, the defence for Carter alleges that the victim only wants £120,000 compensation and that his claims are contradictory. The defence lawyer told the court that Carter only worked at the school for a month, while the victim claims the abuse went on for months. Then suddenly, the victim changed his testimony and reported that the abuse had gone on for just a month.

"He also said he was enticed up to the matron's room by the promises of TV and his mother said it was a group of boys that went up, but we later found out there was no TV up there and no one was enticed,’ the defence claimed.

The defence lawyer concluded in his arguments that while the victim may have been sexually abused by a member of staff at the school, it was not Tiffany Carter who did it.

Another charge made against Carter is that she sexually touched the boy behind an umbrella just outside the school grounds after she left her position at St Andrews.

Carter says this was because the victim followed her around and gave her a cuddly toy.

But the prosecution argued that since Tiffany Carter had remembered the victim in spite of the passage of 30 intervening years, she must have ‘an emotional relationship with him’ and sexually abused him.

The victim’s mother also claimed that he had confided in her after the sex incident because he feared contracting HIV/AIDS.

The trial proceeding are still on.
