PRESS RELEASE

 Jersey abuse case solicitor says sentence is ‘vindication’ for victimsPortsmouth solicitor speaks out on Aubin sentence Alan Collins, solicitor-advocate for Portsmouth-based Verisona and who has acted on behalf of some of the victims in the Jersey “Haut de la Garenne” children’s care home case, says that today’s successful prosecution and sentencing of Michael Aubin is vindication for them.  Petersfield resident Collins, who has travelled as far as Australia in his bid to seek justice for his clients, said: “The outcome today puts paid to any belief that all was OK at Haut de la Garenne because clearly it was not.  What happened is tragic for all those involved and, hopefully minds will now turn to how best to make amends to the victims.  Many still suffer, considerably, as a result of what they had to endure and I am seeking compensation for those who have instructed me to do so.”
