awards from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board this year.

Several women also received sizable awards after being beaten and slashed across their bodies in domestic disputes.

The board, headed by Puisne Judge the Hon. Mrs. Justice Wade, awarded a total of $102,335.44 to crime victims for medical expenses, losses and pain and suffering as a result of attacks on them.

An award of $21,435.19 was given to a college student who was attacked and raped while on holiday here in August of 1991.

Her rapist stuffed vegetation in her mouth and removed her shorts and underclothes and took them with him after raping her. As a result of the attack, she now suffers mental distress, depression, nightmares, flashbacks and developed social problems causing her to drop out of college.

An award of $25,000 was given to a 12-year-old who two years ago was picked up at 11 p.m. while he was awaiting a taxi and then sexually assaulted and raped by the person. His assailant was sentenced to seven and a half years prison.

The money will be held in trust.

Other crime victims awarded Government monies this year included: Kylah Stowe, an 18-year-old who was beaten with a baseball bat and badly stabbed with a knife in her arm and stomach, got $8,215.

Nicola Maria Marsden, punched in the face repeatedly and pushed to the ground by a group of people who attacked her and her friends while they were walking on Front Street on September 1, 1991, got $2,165.25.

Kennita Rosette Minks, 21-year-old woman stabbed in abdomen in a domestic dispute, got $13,195.

Anthony Winslow Outerbridge, a taxi driver who suffered large lacerations across his nose, cheek and fingers after approaching someone about a prior money dispute, got $13,512 which was reduced by one quarter because of his provocation.

Kevin G. Simmons, stabbed in the arm and chest on December 26, 1989, got $1,567.

Charles Henry Ricketts, assaulted and kicked in the head by a group of men while he was at The Club on March 22, 1992, causing him to fall down stairs and lose consciousness which later resulted in permanent left-ear hearing loss and memory failure, got $13,986.

Denied compensation Those who were denied included: Frankie Dennis Simmons, claimed that while he was in prison he received a blow to his eye by either fellow inmate or prison officer, denied because his application was five years too late and there was no documentation of injury having occurred.

Gary Anthony Trott, burned on neck and face by Molotov cocktail that exploded outside Spinning Wheel Night Club, denied because application was 18 months late and no good reason to justify a waiver of time limit.

Howard Roderick Joynes, suffered broken bones in an attack by four men because he had stolen 15 rocks of cocaine, denied because injuries were a direct result of involvement in illegal activity.

Kevin DeRoza and Tresa Robinson, involved in a car accident, denied because the injuries were not found to be criminal.
