UK news Poppi Worthington: prosecutors consider coroner's ruling Senior coroner passes copy of his judgment that father sexually abused toddler to CPS Poppi Worthington’s mother called for prosecutors to re-examine the case after the coroner’s ruling. Photograph: Family handout/PAProsecutors are considering a coroner’s finding that Poppi Worthington was sexually assaulted in her father’s bed before her death. Worthington has been investigated several times over Poppi’s death but has never been charged and maintains his innocence. The nappy Poppi was wearing, her pyjama bottoms and a pillow she slept with were never recovered, nor the sheet on Worthington’s bed. The parents’ laptop and mobile phones were never examined and it was not until more than eight months after the death that police started investigating properly and arrested Worthington and Poppi’s mother.
