Two-year-old girl raped by Baby P killer

The man convicted over the death of Baby P, is found guilty of raping a two-year-old girl.

Sue Turton’s report contains details some may find distressing.

He has already been convicted of causing the death of Baby P, the little boy who suffered horrific abuse despite being on the authorities’ at risk register.

Today his mother’s boyfriend was found guilty of raping a two-year-old girl. The verdict came at the end of a trial that was conducted in total secrecy, where the defendants’ names were changed and the girl became the youngest person to ever give evidence at the Old Bailey.

The mother of Baby P, whose real name is Peter, was cleared of cruelty. But Channel 4 News has uncovered disturbing new evidence that social services at Haringey in north London missed warnings of a background of abuse within the family.
