Hollie Greig Scandal

Hollie Greig is a 32 year old downs syndrome woman who claims that she was sexually abused by her father who also shared his daughter with a high level paedophile ring in the Scottish town of Aberdeen.

If this is not awful enough, for the last 12 years Hollie and her mum Anne have been fighting to have the claims investigated, yet instead of receiving support they have been intiminated by the authorities.

There is medical evidence to support Hollie's claims and Grampian police accept truth in Hollie's statement, yet no action has been taken against the perpetrators.

In fact the authorities have attempted to discredit Anne Greig. Anne was sectioned under the mental health act and taken to hospital, thankfully Anne had the presence of mind to get herself checked by a leading psychiatrist who proclaimed her sane, something even the hospital were forced to concur.

Grampian Police are also implicated in a failure to investigate the death in very suspicious circumstances of the key witness to Hollie's abuse, her uncle Roy Greig. In 1997 Roy stumbled upon Hollie's father abusing her. Hollie's father threatened to kill him and shortly afterwards, Roy was found dying in a burnt out car. The death was recorded as suicide.

In February this year Hollie's leading campaigner, Robert Green was sentenced to one year in prison for breach of the peace, following an attempt to distribute leaflets in Aberdeen exposing Hollie's story and the failure of the authorities to investigate Hollie's claims.

Worst of all, Hollie is now subject to Shropshire Council care proceedings with the view to seperate her from her mother, which is cruellest thing anyone could do. She has been refused permission to Appeal against the local authority's care plan so is back in the Court of Protection, where it has already been decided that she does not have capacity to litigate for herself.

Can you help Hollie get justice? Please take a moment to google/youtube Hollie Greig. Please blog about Hollie's story, write to your MP and tell them you believe there is a cover-up.

For the sake of all children in our country we can't sit by and allow this to continue

Do you have any links to news articles etc about this?

There seems to be a news blackout on the case. in 2009 The News of the World exposed the story concentrating on the fact that Hollie received compensation from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority for crimes that had never been investigated. The press have been contacted but no one seems to want to investigate it. BBC Scotland were very interested then changed their mind.

This is a horrible case.

(Do you think you could refer to her as a woman with Down's Syndrome instead of a Down's Syndrome woman?)

If this is true, this rings massive alarm bells. 1 year sentence for a breach of peace? For leaflet distribution?

This case is awful and I will read up just now. Agree with CaoNiMa though.

This story has been about for years and years and although I believe there is a grain if truth in it - I do believe she was sexually abused at one point - there is a whole heap of unbelievable shite around it too, and even people who believed at first have now said that they were lied to and deceived. Honestly, it's old old news.
