London Man Jailed for Sex with Mentally Ill Woman at Surrey Unit
Shocking 2019 Case Uncovered
A 36-year-old Londoner admitted to having sexual relations with a mentally ill woman at a Surrey care unit in 2019. The victim became pregnant but was unable to care for the baby.
Baby Taken into Care
After the child was born, children’s services stepped in and removed the baby from the mother’s care. The woman’s fragile mental state meant she could not provide proper support.
Judge Slams ‘Very High’ Harm
At Guildford Crown Court, Judge Rufus Taylor condemned the man’s actions, describing the harm caused as “very high.” The man pleaded guilty during a June hearing.
Family’s Fight for Justice
The woman’s mother from Hampshire’s New Forest had earlier raised alarm bells with her local MP, worrying about the child’s welfare. To protect the baby’s identity, no names have been released.
