Girl, 14, raped by paedophiles in Telford sex abuse ring was ‘ordered to take her child to visit her rapist’
Now aged 48 the victim has spoken out about her ordeal of taking her child to jail to visit her alleged abuser
A WOMAN who was raped at 14 by paedophiles in the Telford sex abuse ring claims she was ordered to let her rapist visit her child.
The unidentified woman was preyed on by a man in the sex grooming scandal and said she would have been arrested unless she allowed him to see the kid, reports.
The story comes days after Rotherham mum Sammy Woodhouse told how her abuser was offered parental rights over her son.
The victim, who was called Allison to protect her identity, told The Mirror she was forced to take her child to visit her alleged abuser.
She said: “I was forced to take my child to a contact centre to see my abuser, where I had to sit across from him.
"Despite the fact I’d repeatedly tried to tell police and social services what was going on, the court allowed him to see my child.
"I was told I would be held in contempt and arrested if I didn’t take him to the contact centre.”
Allison, who is now 48, was targeted in the 1980s and says police, social workers and even a GP failed to listen to her.
She gave birth to her child when she 15 and was forced to leave school over fears she was “setting a bad example”.
She fell pregnant again at 17 and had an abortion, but she does not know if the father was her original abuser or another one of the sex gang rapists.
The mum claims she tried to tell police about 30 times but they did not intervene.
The alleged abuser was never convicted of rape or any sexual offence in relation to her, but was later jailed for money laundering.
He sought access to the child when it was three and contact stopped when the kid was seven.
The victim has spoken out to back the campaign to stop men from getting access to children conceived through rape.
It is being led by Sammy, who waived her anonymity this week to tell of her ordeal.
Sammy was raped by Arshid Hussain, leader of the Rotherham grooming gang, when she was 15 and gave birth to a son.

The grooming gang ringleader was jailed for 35 years in 2016 for abusing Sammy and other girls.
West Mercia Police’s Assistant Chief Constable Martin Evans told The Mirror that in Allison’s case it is understandable that it has had a “long-lasting impact” on her, but police knowledge of child sex abuse “has moved on a long way”.
Shropshire Council, in charge of Telford social services at the time, did not comment.
