Baby P ‘stepfather’ may appeal against rape conviction

LAWYERS representing Baby P’s ‘stepfather’ confirmed yesterday they are considering an appeal against his conviction for raping a two-year-old girl.

Tim Bittlestone, of Leslie Franks Solicitors, said: “We will go through the process with this client as we do with every client.”

Legal sources suggested any appeal could focus on the age of the victim, who was the prosecution’s main witness.
