The Police believe my daughter and said that they think we deserve our day in court, however the CPS are reluctant to run with it, because they cannot be sure how my daughter would cope in court and whether they would get a conviction or not. So they, in there wisdom think it's best to let him go with a no further action reply, and wait until he slips up and does it again. Marvellous isn't it, especially as he's remarried with two step-daughters and another biological daughter he sees regularly. No wonder people are reluctant to go to the police and divulge these crimes. The criminals are more looked after than the victims, and the police seem as frustrated with the CPS as the victims. Police I have spoken to have said that in there opinion, the CPS have no backbone to take cases on unless there's a 98% chance of success. The CPS shouldn't be allowed to play judge and jury. They are more or less calling the british public morons, who cannot decide whether someone is guilty or not.

Have you tried contacting some Rape Advocacy groups in your area for advice. They can help you in pressuring the District Attorney into prosecuting this asshole. We have a saying in the US that the squeaky wheel gets the grease, meaning you need to keep at it until you get your satisfaction. Even if you don't get a conviction out of it maybe you can get that idiot who married him and is putting her two daughters in danger to rethink her situation with her. AND if this didn't work then I would contact those girls' schools and let them know to keep an eye out on their welfare.

any pregnancy when the mother is over 40 years old has an increased risk of having a baby with Downs Syndrome. Also, research and studies have shown that for some reason theres an increased risk of the individual to develop Alzheimer's later in life. I would see about getting the tests done as soon as you can, it's rather important for the baby (might have other problems). If in fact your child is born with Downs Syndrome, the best bet is to enroll your family and the child into an Early Intervention Program. This program will provide supports to your family that will help and encourage your child to succeed. Good Luck.

Make a complaint to the chief crown prosecutor, let him review your case specifically rather than the people below him that made the decision not to take it to court.
If you wish to complain about the way a case was handled, you should write to the CPS office that originally dealt with it.
Include as much information as possible, such as the name of the defendant, the nature and date(s) of any offence(s), the court that dealt with the case, the date(s) of any hearing(s) and the police force that investigated the offence(s).
If you are not satisfied with the reply you receive from the local office, you should contact the Chief Crown Prosecutor for the Area in question.
He or she will take up your complaint and write back to you.
If you are still not satisfied then take it to the top,
you should contact: CPS Correspondence Unit
50 Ludgate Hill
London EC4M 7EX
Tel: 020 7796 8500
e-mail: complaints@cps.gsi.gov.uk
You have nothing else to lose now so take it to a complaint.

This is disgusting, you need to go and see your MP, who will be able to help you out with this. He or she will bring pressure on the CPS to prosecute. Your daughter will be fine in court with the right support, they are just cowards to say she won't be ok. And what does it have to do with them whether there is a conviction or not, that is for the jury to decide - if we only prosecuted 100% sure fire cases then we wouldn't need judges, juries and the police! I would be tempted to go to the national press too, but get a solicitor first as any such publicity might prejudice a future trial. You have loads of support on here, go for it.

I have no idea what your next move should be, but please don't stop trying every method you can. Do everything, go public. It's such a sad thing and that man deserves punishment. I would start by writing to the head office of CPS, let it reach the man at the top. How can they question your daughter's ability to cope in a courtroom after what she has been through? And how can they say that keeping your daughter out of the courtroom because of her "not coping" is a better solution than letting him get away with it?
Someone in the CPS needs their priorities sorting out.
Good luck to the both of you.

talk with the prosecutor and tell them you want charges brought up, take a police officer that you have talked to with you. Also get a copy of the police reports and see if you can find a detective that would be willing to deliver them to his current wife so that she will know what he has done. That way she can be on guard. also you may want to take out a personal add in the papers letting people know about him as well.

This is ridiculous-have you spoken to CPS already? I hope you know that you CAN file a police report, and get a copy of it whether or not they decide to do anything with it. I would, because if he ever goes to court, it will be very important that you have one.
CPS usually takes the information and takes it to a grand jury to decide what to do with it. They don't take it to court themselves.
If I were you, I would get a lawyer. Initiate a protection order against your daughter, and let him take YOU to court. Then you can explain why you won't allow your daughter to visit her father.

you need a good child advocate lawyer. I would be on the phone all day everyday to find someone to help you. Regardless of your daughters mental state, she has rights that from what you say have been grossly violated by her own father. And I would make sure everyone knew what he did.

You take out a private prosecution for damages. When you win the CPS have to re-think their decision - it sucks, but thats our wonderful Justice system for you!!

You need to get medical documents on this. If he does this again make sure see if seen ASAP. Maybe if you can get the other girls to tell you he does this to them too. The best way is DNA proof.
