The mother and step-father used the terrified 12-year-old as a surrogate mother, forcing her to have sex with him until she conceived because her mother was sterlised, the Daily Mail reported. Her mother admitted conspiracy to rape and child cruelty and was jailed for six years. "This was not just rape, but rape with the intention of ensuring the pregnancy of a 12-year-old child." "The girl says her mother told her they wanted her to get pregnant by him, and her mother is on record as describing the pregnancy as a Godsend." The court heard the man originally denied rape, suggesting his partner had artificially inseminated the girl with his semen.
