Questão jurídica principal
Whether the old Victim Assistance Act applies to the claimant's psychically mediated injury from sexual abuse committed before 1993 but realized later.
Decisão extraída
The old Victim Assistance Act applies because the relevant injury (serious psychological harm amounting to serious bodily injury) occurred after 1 January 1993.
Fundamentação extraída
A bodily injury is treated as committed after entry into force if the criminally relevant result occurs only later. The claimant did not contest this point on further appeal.
