My ex husband raped and assaulted me, can I claim compensation before he goes to jail?

I wasn’t going to go for compensation but friends and family have told me I should, what could I do? My monster ex husband was charged with 4 counts of rape and assault by beating, nothing will repair the damage this man has done but it might help myself and my children to get the support we need to rebuild our future.
We are still waiting for a court date for sentencing for the rapes, but he was charged in 2015 with domestic violence charges for assault by beating, not sure if I can still claim compo for that, the police took photos as evidence and it was just a bruise on my arm and a split lip and he pleaded guilty so went straight to court, I didn’t know the out come of that court cause till a few weeks ago when it was brought up in family court.
Can I get a pay out for me and my children for all the trauma and stress, for my personal injuries and psychological damages? or do I have to wait for him to be convicted for the sexual assault too as the investigation is on going?
this is hard to talk about, any help is appreciated.
