Manchester City to offer compensation to victims of historical child sexual abuse as club launch redress scheme
Manchester City are set to pay out compensation to victims of historical child sexual abuse which occurred at the club.Premier League champions City say they commissioned a QC-led review in November 2016 into whether the club was used by former youth coach Barry Bennell and “any other individual to facilitate alleged sexual abuse of children from 1964 to the present day”.That review, which is ongoing, led to the “uncovering of serious allegations of child sex abuse in respect of another individual, John Broome.”Bennell, who was a youth team coach with City and Crewe, was last year convicted of 52 offences committed against 12 boys he coached between 1979 and 1991. Broome, who is now dead, was involved in City’s youth set-up in the 1960s.City say the compensation scheme applies to the victims of Bennell and Broome.City added in a statement: “The club’s review remains ongoing and Manchester City FC continues to be restricted as to what it can make public at present for legal reasons.Barry Bennell was jailed for 31 years last February1

“The club reiterates, however, its heartfelt sympathy to all victims for the unimaginably traumatic experiences that they endured.“All victims were entitled to expect full protection from the kind of harm they suffered as a result of their sexual abuse as children.”
