Leeds Crown Court
Robert Wiggans took advantage of his position in charge of the young woman’s finances to commit fraud offences which a judge described as “the most terrible breach of trust”.
Wiggans carried out the deception when he was a senior partner at Dewsbury-based legal firm Hellewell, Pasley and Brewer. Leeds Crown Court heard Wiggans, 61, was the compliance officer for finance and administration at the time of the offending in 2015 and 2016.
Heather Gilmour, prosecuting, said Wiggans managed compensation which had been paid to the victim as she was severely disabled due to medical negligence. She requires 24-hour care and cannot live unaided.
