A woman whose children were abused by her ex-boyfriend has called on dating apps to stop advising parents to disclose that they have children after a study found that 11% of men surveyed using dating apps have paedophilic thoughts.

Georgina Tuohey, who was groomed by boxing coach Brendan Cornally, who then repeatedly raped and abused her children, said that legal controls must be introduced to make dating apps safer for vulnerable users.
