Kristoffer White, who was previously allowed unsupervised time with his child despite a conviction for raping a stranger, has had his parental rights revoked after failing to appear in court. The family court found that he also raped the child's mother on three occasions.
A convicted rapist who was previously allowed to have unsupervised time with his child has been stripped of his parental responsibility.
Charlotte Proudman, the mother’s barrister, told the court: “The father inflicted devastating emotional harm on the whole family, including the child, which he continued to deny. It’s hard to see how there can be any positive factors that justify the father being capable of exercising his parental rights.”
In an interview, the mother, who had represented herself in court up until February’s hearing, said it was concerning that two Cafcass employees came to polar opposite conclusions. White served four years of a nine-year sentence for raping a teenager in 2008. According to press reports, White dragged the 19-year-old woman into a garden, threatened to kill her and raped her twice. He was identified through his DNA two years after the attack and convicted in 2011.
“ I dismiss his application for contact and order that there should be no contact between him and .” Moradifar said he would lay out thehis reasoning for his ruling in a written judgment to be published at a later date.
