BBC Text:
[The convicted rapist Iorworth Hoare who the paper says has been granted access to the fortune he won in 2004 while serving life in prison. "Hoare, 70, has gained full access to his £7.2m fortune after a 15-year legal dispute," the paper reports, adding he was initially prevented from having unlimited access to his money under the conditions of his release on licence.] ![]() |

I’m guessing it’s going to be a lot more than 7 million after 14 years of interest
I think at one stage his victim made a claim against the win He is not the first criminal/ex criminal to have won the lottery Unfortunately you can’t change the law to what’s morally right when it’s legally wrong |

So I just read the law was changed and his victim got 50,000 compensation with him paying another 800,000 thousand in legal fees
The lady an ex teacher died last year she gave the money away to charity, hoar was the victims ex student He bought the winning ticket while on weekend release from an open prison |

Might leave a bit of a sour taste in the mouth but winning the lottery is not connected to his offence which he has done his time for

it's just jealousy in overdrive. People are jealous of ordinary lottery winners, so when a prisoner wins, it's amplified 1000 times
