Mother of raped girl, 5, not warned babysitter was paedophile

A PAEDOPHILE was able to rape a five-year-old girl he was babysitting because agencies failed to tell her mother he was a convicted sex offender.

A serious case review revealed a number of agencies failed to provide adequate protection for the child.

At the time of the attack, the man was receiving treatment and was being supervised by Cleveland Police and the National Probation Service Teesside and Durham.
