Stepfather of, “Baby P” guilty of raping two year old
The boyfriend of Baby Peters, (Baby P’s) mother has been tried and convicted of raping a girl on the, “At risk” register. The rape allegation has surfaced as a result of the Baby Peter arrest.
Baby Peter, died in August 2007 from horrific abuse at the hands of his mother, boyfriend and lodger. Haringey Council has been targeted along with other social services, including the police and medical staff in failing to act in protecting it’s most vulnerable.
The rape victim was on the Haringey Council child protection register, just like the 17-month-old boy, whose name can be revealed today as Peter.
The couple cannot be identified for legal reasons and were tried under false names amid fears that an internet hate campaign would try to influence jurors.
The jury of eight men and four women had no idea of the defendants’ true identities - but were told by Judge Stephen Kramer after they delivered their verdicts.
The man will be sentenced for rape and for causing or allowing Baby Peter’s death in August 2007, along with the woman and lodger Jason Owen.
The convictions mean the judge will be able to pass a life sentence on the boyfriend, if he considers him to be a danger to the public.
The mother and her lover, whom Peter knew as “dad”, lived in north London. They were cleared, along with lodger Owen, 36, of his murder.
The mother admitted causing or allowing the death and the men were found guilty by a jury. The maximum sentence for the offence is 14 years.
There was a storm of protest when details of Peter’s death emerged and criticism of police, social workers and medical staff.
In the latest trial, the girl rape victim became the youngest child to give evidence at the Old Bailey.

The mother , her boyfriend , and their lodger should be hanged.
Before they get hanged they should be tortured , left in agony like that poor little mite was.

Why,when that evil witch gets out of prison should she be given a new identity?When she gets out let her walk the streets,
beg for food and sleep in the gutter that,s where she should be.
With a bit a luck a ten ton lorry will run over her, leave her dying in agony , just as that little boy did.Rest in peace little one.
