Soham killer Ian Huntley is to receive legal aid to fight a case against a woman who claims he sexually assaulted her when she was 11 years old.

Hailey Giblin, 20, believed she had won a civil case against him in October but has learned he will contest the action.
She says the attack was in Cleethorpes in 1997 - five years before he killed Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman.
The Legal Services Commission said about £1,000 had been allocated to his solicitors to challenge the case. "Ian Huntley has got legal aid and the case is ongoing," a spokesman said.

Makes me so sick & mad - there are some people that do genuinely need a hand with legal aid to fight some cases & this one is given it on a plate - why ??? He's going to be in prison for a very long time anyway i so damn hope!!

Is this right?
