- The father was sentenced to four years in prison after arranging a child abuse case
The mother of a 13-year-old schoolboy whose father gave him cocaine and booked him a prostitute today has branded her ex ‘disgusting’.
The mother had reluctantly agreed to let her teenage boy spend a night with his father – her former partner – at a hotel in Bromley, south London, to ‘cheer him up’.
But when the boy arrived, his father offered him cocaine and said, “I bought a buyer.”
The youngster told his father he did not want to do drugs or have sex with the woman, to which he replied: ‘Don’t be ap***y.’
The boy later told his shocked mother what had happened, prompting her to go to the police.
After her 39-year-old ex was sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to arranging a child sex crime, the woman – who cannot be named for legal reasons – lashed out.
Speaking from her home in the Home Counties, she said: “He is an absolutely disgusting man.
“There are so many bad things he’s done…”
The trial took place at Croydon Crown Court (pictured), where the man stood trial for causing a child to engage in sexual activity and offering to supply cocaine.
She wants to move on: ‘But I just want to move on with this terrible case.
“I don’t want to talk about him for the sake of the children.”
And a source added: ‘What that man did is simply the most incredible thing imaginable – unless you know him, in which case it’s not that surprising at all.
‘He is out of control, the worst father there is and it is a miracle that his son has done so well when he had him as a father.
‘The family is well disposed of him. ‘
This week the father, a former company director, had insisted in court that he was a ‘good father’.
He told Croydon Crown Court: “Maybe I don’t look like that to you.
“It was just because he was feeling down about breaking up with his girlfriend and he said he had done all those things before.”
He added: “I really have a good heart.
‘On paper I must sound like an absolute reject, but that is not the case at all.’
Another source described the father – who once ran a business with his ex – as a ‘complete idiot’.
They continued, “He (the father) is a real jack-the-lad.
“He is a physically fit man who always claimed to love his children and his family.
‘But despite the holidays abroad and trips to the park, he felt more like going to the pub and getting out.’
Another added: “They finally broke up a few years ago.
‘She had had enough. And who can blame her.’
Sentencing him, Judge Antony Hyams-Parish told the father he had tried to humiliate his own son by taking part in a twisted night of drugs and sex.
Mr Justice Hyams-Parish said: ‘He appears to be a very bright, intelligent and very sensible young man. But at 13, he was young and impressionable.
“As his father, he undoubtedly looked up to you. He had no choice. He agreed to what you asked. You clearly haven’t thought about the impact, son, your son.’
The father’s name will be added to the sex offenders register and will be subject to a sexual harm prevention order for ten years.
Mr Justice Hyams-Parish praised the youngster’s bravery for telling his mother what had happened.
The judge said: ‘He shouldn’t feel any guilt. He was the most sensible person in all this.”
The father will also be subject to a sex offenses notification requirement for life and was given a 10-year SHPO.
