A judge in Bradford (UK) has refused to jail a 15 year old girl who stabbed the man who sexuiually abused her and got away with it when she was just eight years old:

Judge Jonathan Durham Hall QC told the 15-year-old it would be a 'disgrace' to send her to prison, despite the fact she had attacked the man, 56, in his own home, stabbing him close to his heart.

And he refused to impose a mandatory victim surcharge on the girl when she appeared at Bradford Crown Court, after hearing that the paedophile had destroyed her life, adding: 'If anyone tries to force you, I will pay it myself.'

'It would be a disgrace to send a survivor like you to prison,' Judge Durham Hall added.
