A grooming gang rape victim has spoken out after her jailed rapist was given the chance to see his victim’s child.
Sammy Woodhouse was abused and raped as a child by one of Rotherham’s grooming gangs. Now, according to The Times, Rotherham council has invited Woodhouse’s jailed rapist to seek access to her son.
“Arshid Hussain, a serial rapist and the ringleader of a child-grooming gang, had no parental responsibility for the child but social workers contacted him in prison to give him the chance to stake a claim in the boy’s future,” The Times reported.
Woodhouse posted a video on Twitter on Wednesday calling on new laws to ensure no rapist will ever have access to a child conceived through rape or abuse. “People, women and children are being put at direct risk,” Woodhouse warned.

Rotherham council have offered convicted rapist access to my son.
This is happening all over the UK and must stop! An investigation and change in law is needed. https://t.co/dxSnGt29Is pic.twitter.com/7nJ1jnvJGN
