Fury as jailed rapist who fathered a child with his 15-year-old grooming-gang victim is invited by social workers to be involved in the boy's upbringing – leaving the girl 'angry and scared'

A traumatised woman who was raped by a member of a grooming gang and became pregnant with his child was left 'extremely distressed' after social workers tried to help him get in contact with her son.

In the 'perverse' decision by the unnamed local authority, staff approached a jailed sex attacker and offered him help to be involved in his son's upbringing, without notifying his mother.

An investigation by The Times found the council notified the man he could seek visits from his child in jail and could apply for his family to have custody of the boy.

Campaigners said the offer could 'retraumatise' his victim who lives in Northern England.

Details over her location have been withheld to protect the mother whose case featured in the trial of several men of Pakistani origin were found guilty of dozens of sex offences.

'The council knew what he did to me and to other vulnerable girls. They knew he was behind bars and a risk to my son, who wanted nothing to do with him, but they bent over backwards to include him in the case. I felt angry and scared for my son.'

The decision has been met with fury and will be investigated.

Baroness Newlove, the victims' commissioner for England and Wales, said: 'This appears to be a case in which a victim of the worst sexual violence faced the prospect of continuing to be abused by her perpetrator, this time via the family courts.'

Louise Haigh, the shadow police and crime minister, said: 'They handed him an invitation to retraumatise his victim. No man who has fathered a child through abuse or rape should have the right to apply for custody or visitation rights in the family courts.'

In my experience social workers have been from useless through utterly adept at making things worse to positively dangerous to your health.
Surely the courts, if that is who ordered this farce to go ahead must know he's a convicted rapist of under age girls and they still make this beyond stupid decision? What a mess we are in.

All Uni graduates too.

I'd kill this dirty pig before I let him anywhere near my child, even if it is his.



This is the kid he raped

If this is allowed it could open floodgates for any other rapists to see the results of their rape. I can't say child because those children could never be a child to them.

He should never be allowed. He's a filthy rapist fgs!

If that photo is of the rapist, why is he in a Wheelchair ?

Hopefully, it's permanent

I can only hope his brakes fail on a steep hill.

This is totally absurd. What the fuck? He rapes a child, (among many others), gets her pregnant and thinks he has some kind of parental right?

I bet there’s some do-gooder somewhere, who will think he’s being totally reasonable.
