- My son is 12 - how can he be a rapist? Nightmare ordeal of boy's 'sleepover sex'

- The youngster was thrown out of school and had his life ruined until his accuser admitted the accusation was false

- The 12-year-old's life was turned upside down after he was falsely accused of rape

A devastated mum has told how her 12-year-old son was accused of rape, arrested in his pyjamas and chucked in an adult police cell overnight – only for his accuser to admit 14 months later the sex was consensual.

The schoolboy had his life turned upside down and was thrown out of school with the false accusation hanging over his head after strict bail conditions meant he was prohibited from being around any females aged under 16.

The mum of the youngster – who we cannot name for legal reasons – told The New Day her innocent boy’s life has been “flipped upside down” and revealed the horrifying extent to which she was let down by police and social services.

“It felt very much like a case of guilty until proven innocent,” she revealed.

“My poor boy was treated like an adult on a brutal sex charge.

“He was terrified, and this will now affect him for the rest of his life.”

The schoolboy – who we will refer to as Tom – lost his virginity to his accuser at a friend’s sleepover in November 2014.

He was 12 and stayed overnight at a boy pal’s home. The girl was 13, but Tom’s mum had no idea she would be there.

Three days later police came knocking demanding to speak to her son but officers would not tell her why.

“I was so confused,” she said. “I thought maybe he had been in a scuffle, I was getting ready to tell him off for stealing a bike or something.

"He has never been in trouble, he is cheeky but he is a good boy. He was in the top sets of everything at school, he was popular, teachers loved him.

“I’ll never forget it. I went to his friend’s house to get him with the police.

"I ran in before them and asked him what he had done, he was playing the computer in his pyjamas and he looked at me in total confusion and said, ‘I haven’t done anything, mum’.

“The next thing I remember is us leaving the house and the policeman saying he was arresting my 12-year-old baby on suspicion of rape.

"My entire world collapsed. I thought there must be some stupid mistake.”

Tom was taken to a nearby police station where he was booked in and taken to a cell.

“I remember screaming. I was saying they couldn’t take him to the cells because he was only a child.

"They told me they wouldn’t be doing it if it was against the law. I felt helpless. I wanted to protect my child, and I could do nothing.”

Tom was taken to the cells at around 7.30pm and stayed there until 3.30am.

"In this time he was asked to give a semen sample, a DNA sample, had his fingerprints taken and had pubic hair collected.

“He was in the cell next door to adults,” his mum continued.

“Grown men were brought in and put next to him, he was terrified. I was fighting to get him home.

"In the end they agreed I could take him home as long as I had him back for an interview at 10am the next day.

“It was hours of torture. They were already treating him like he was guilty.”

Tom was taken home by his mum and put to bed.

“I remember that night and so many others that followed I would just sit there watching him sleep, terrified.

"I had thoughts occasionally of running away with him. Protecting him seemed out of my hands.”

Tom then made a mistake of lying to police the next ­morning, saying he had not slept with the girl.

“This was done in panic,” his mum admits.

“I think he thought it would all go away but he had little grasp of how serious it was. When DNA came back he apologised and told us he was really scared.

“I always believed that he had not raped her, he doesn’t know what that means and it was his first time.”

Tom then spent a nervous 14 months awaiting a court case.

“Life stopped for him. Bail conditions meant he was pretty much housebound and it felt like everyone knew and ­everyone was talking.

I was scared to let him out of my sight in case someone hurt him.

“What angers me is that not once did we have a single call from social services.

"My argument is, if a 12-year-old is capable of rape, why are the professionals not asking questions about the family life? It is not normal.

“After being chucked out of school we eventually got Tom in a special school for boys with behavioural difficulties but it didn’t work because he was not like those children and he was scared. He lost a year of his education.”

In January this year Tom underwent a four-day trial in a youth court, 14 months after his initial arrest.

Tom had to endure a four day trial at youth court 14 months after his initial arrest

During the course of proceedings, his accuser admitted to the judge the sex between the pair was consensual and she had said it was rape so her boyfriend would not be angry that she’d had sex with someone else.

Tom was found not guilty. His emotional mum cries to this day when re-living the verdict.

“I was not in the court when they acquitted him,” she says. “All of the family were there to support us and I felt like I was going to have a panic attack so I left the court.

“I will never forget him stumbling outside, running into my arms and sobbing.

"I couldn’t work out whether it was good news or bad because he was crying so much, but he managed to get out the words: ‘It’s over mum, not guilty’ and we cried together. I thought he was coping brilliantly but it was all pent up inside.”

Tom decided to leave his mother’s home in East Anglia following the ordeal and live with his father in the north of the country.

“He told me he wanted to get on with school and make something of himself in a different area.

“It’s been very hard not having him here but I’d never begrudge him a new start,” she says.

“He’s always welcome. I’m just pleased he’s not in prison for something he didn’t do.”

A police spokesman in the county where Tom was arrested explained “certain procedures are followed” when a child is arrested but it is not uncommon for a child to be placed in a cell for a serious crime, as the age of legal responsibility is 10.

“It is not unusual for us not to tell an adult prior to a child’s arrest what the child is being arrested for,” she adds.

“This is to protect the integrity of the investigation.”

Aside from 12 and 13 year olds having sex, this is truly disturbing. They're coming for our children and feminists think it's a 'learning experience'. Two scared kids, fucking like adults...is there any risk of further prosecution because she was underage?

[Paracelsus]

Whilst my heart aches for the boy, before giving any sympathy to the mother I want to know how many chickenshit articles she clicked, believed, and Facebooked about saying how women who claim they are raped must always be believed. Every time she did so, she turned a key in her son's cell door. One exhibit in support: where the fuck is the father in all this? Not one word about him. Is the kid yet another destroyed boy, ripped off his father because said mother was unhaaaaaaappy?

[Suits]

We're going to be seeing more and more stories like this.

[fugly1000]

Idk what I'd do if this was my son. I'd probably lose it. See that's why daughters need to disciplined harder than boys. I see to much pampering for daughters. Yeah if my daughter did that; I'd hope I wouldn't disown her. Yeah this is disgusting. We know she did it so her parents wouldn't think she's a slut. Fuck that little cunt.

[Saweeep]

It's appalling that his mum couldn't bear to be in the court to hear the verdict.

The UK is full of millions of these stupid, wastes of space.

I can guarantee you that the 13 year old girl's mum is probably in her twenties and within the next few years the cycle will continue.

Nothing good comes from turning a blind eye to 12/13 year olds having full blown sexual relationships.

[MiscBrah]

Not buying this story one bit. Women can't lie

[UroboricForms]

When's she going to jail in his place then?

Hmm?

[Phoenix]

Firstly, it is unnecessary to write "UK:" and "12yo boy goes to jail on false rape charge". You only need one or the other.

"12yo boy goes to jail on false rape charge" --> obviously it's probably UK. Alternatively you can just write "UK usual" and we can guess it's approximately going to be about a 12 year old boy being jailed on a false rape charge.

[Rawmeo]

Why the fuck are people having sex at 13?

Why the fuck are 13 y.o. girls having boyfriends, and cheating on them?

Why the fuck do cops believe that a 12 y.o. boy is a rapist?

Glad I got out of the West.

[Surreyman]

Just more tales from Britain's underclass. I guarantee these kids families are living off the state, probably working the 16 hours a week maximum that they can whilst still claiming full benefits.

Everyone in the UK just pretends these freaks don't exist, or laughs at them on voyeuristic television shows. We actually need to make some serious attempts at dismantling this class, and rebuilding them as working people.

Holy shit, is that something that UK police can really demand a suspect provide? There's really only one way to collect a semen sample.... Did the police demand he masturbate while they watched or stood guard nearby?

Every part of this story is fucked up, but that part has got to be the most humiliating and degrading aspect.

Man they should just submerge that whole island for a week, then start again.

[Geomann180]

From what I've read, I gather his parents are separated. If that's true, then the bolded statement, I thought was pretty nice. No father bashing and if any malice existed she (or the publisher) kept it out of the papers.

Yep, you and I are paying to feed and clothe them, then pay their legal fees when they accuse each other of rape, then pay for the offspring to develop into criminals, and the cycle continues.

[thecrazy]

I keep saying again that as an italian that lived for some time in the uk that country is a total joke. If i had enough balls i could go in tv and just talk about the uk, british people and what i've seen/happened to me there and i'll be a great comedian here, i could live on it. And i am absolutely serious when i say this.

It wouldn't be the first time cops attempted this.

Reason article:
Cops Want to Give Teen an Erection and Photograph It

They wanted to compare dick pics to try to prove it was him in the pic he sent to his gf.

Quote:

The authorities in Prince William County, Virginia, are pursuing child pornography charges against a 17 year old who exchanged nude picture texts with his 15-year-old girlfriend. The police have even filed a warrant that would permit them to take the teen to the hospital, give him an erection-producing injection, and photograph his penis. Prosecutors want to compare this photograph to the one the teen sent to his girlfriend, establishing that they depict the same thing.

In the end the court decided not to force the kid to do it.

In an unsurprising and excellent twist later:

Cop Who Sought Photos of Teen’s Erection in Sexting Case Commits Suicide Moments Before Arrest

Quote:

Police Detective David Edward Abbott, a member of the Northern Virginia-Washington D.C. Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, committed suicide Tuesday before law enforcement could arrest him on suspicion of sexually abusing minors.

Sometimes there is justice in this world.

Is this not the very definition of the worst form of child sexual abuse?

Degrading the boy, judging the boy, forcing him to masturbate (probably in front of a person), dehumanizing him and locking him in a cage - the only thing they didn't do is sexually torture him with painful insertions.

How do these police claim an ounce of moral authority when it comes to arresting teens for "consensual" under-age sex [note: I am not saying that a 12 year old can consent to sex with an adult; THEY SHOULD NOT BE HAVING SEX IN THE FIRS PLACE] when they degrade and abuse children like this? How did no one in that police station say - "Uh, guys? Forcing a twelve year old to masturbate is a criminal action. We probably shouldn't do it." This is hypocrisy of the highest order. These police should be charged with child molestation.

child pornography charges against a 17 year old who exchanged nude picture texts with his 15-year-old girlfriend

Notice that this was a mutual exchange of nude photos between gf & bf, and yet only the male was charged with a crime. I get that he's "older", but they are both kids. Could be as little as a year apart in age between 15 and 17.

In situations like this instead of ruining a kids life forever with sex crime charges for being horny and exchanging pics with gf, they should be seeking an alternative solution.

When kids did stupid shit an a previous era it was left to the parents to deal with, not arresting them. But now parents are mostly shitty, so I don't know the solution is.

[Saweeep]

I don't think this semen sample thing is true. I've never heard of anything like it...let alone with a minor.

What's the point of it exactly?
