Vile Leeds rapist who won £7m on National Lottery is given full access to his jackpot win
A rapist who won more than £7million on the National Lottery, has now been granted full access to his fortune.
Hoare, who used to live Leeds, also had to pay her legal bill of £537,885 and his own £239,583 costs. Shirley's fight for justice paved the way for others, such as Jimmy Savile’s victims and Rotherham survivors, to claim compensation. "People thought my mum was going after his millions – she wasn’t. It was about getting the law changed."
The rest of the £7.2m could only be accessed with the consent of the fund trustees – a Home Office official, Hoare's lawyer and accountant. He began legal action to win control of the money in 2008 and can now access it, plus interest. Shelley said at the time: “The Queen had a long conversation with mum. We thought, ‘Oh my God, my mum’s taking up all her time, what are they talking about?’
Shelley said: “She just handled it with such dignity and very few people knew what she’d been through until the MBE. I applied for that in 2008.Grandma-of-four Shirley had seven great-grandchildren and was a member of many community groups in Roundhay, where she lived on the same road for 40 years. Previously head of Netherlands Avenue School in Bradford, she spent her retirement swimming every day, was an active rambler and even completed the tough Three Peaks Walk shortly after turning 80.
