'It's perverse': Jailed Pakistani grooming gang rapist who made girl, 15, pregnant is invited to be involved the child’s upbringing by social workers.
In the 'perverse' decision by the unnamed local authority, staff approached the jailed sex attacker and offered him help to be involved in his son's upbringing. Campaigners said the offer could 're-traumatise' 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. Her case came to light when her son, who has complex needs, was at the centre of a case in which the council sought a care order - with approval of his mother. Ordinarily anyone with parental rights over the child would be contacted - but the man was never named on the child's birth certificate and was jailed for the attack. 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.'
