'I'd have killed myself - or others'
Updated on 26 April 2009
The first person to win compensation from the MoD or non-violent bullying from the MoD speaks to Channel 4 News about the abuse he suffered and the mental damage it did.
Andy Lee, who was subjected to homophobic bullying for 12 years until it drove him to nervous breakdown, has settled out of court with the MoD.
Lee, who is not gay, settled for £300,000 with the MoD recognising a failure in its duty of care, health damage and loss of earnings.
He said he is speaking out because others want to feel they can stand up to bullying in the armed forces.
