Gadd was jailed for 16 years after his conviction in 2015, and released in February 2023 after serving half his sentence.
He was returned to prison six weeks later after it was found he had breached his licence conditions by allegedly viewing downloaded images of children.
At the time of the original hearing, the High Court heard that the woman had been unable to work for decades due to the abuse, and had suffered lifelong mental scarring.
Judge Mrs Justice Tipples ruled at the time that she was satisfied the woman had not been able to find “any meaningful employment throughout her life” as a result, and awarded her damages for complex psychological therapy and treatment and loss of earnings.
In her ruling, the judge also said Gadd had failed to acknowledge the compensation claim had been lodged against him – meaning he had lost the case by default.
Gadd’s sentence for the 2015 convictions is set to expire in February 2031.
