Mum banned from seeing girl over her sex abuse lies

- N.sears@dailymail.co.uk

A MOTHER who made false sex abuse allegation­s about her expartner has been barred from seeing their daughter.

A High Court judge made the ruling after she concluded that the woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had caused ‘significan­t harm’ to the four-year-old girl.

Ms Justice Russell said she had made ‘persistent and unsubstant­iated’ allegation­s about the child being sexually abused by her father.

The little girl had been ‘repeatedly subjected to intimate examinatio­ns, solely at the behest of her mother’ and been prevented from having an ‘uninhibite­d relationsh­ip’ with her father, the judge said.

She said the child’s early years had been blighted by her mother’s ‘irrational’ behaviour.

A family court had previously ruled the woman should be able to see her daughter, who lives with her father, but the man challenged the decision and Ms Justice Russell upheld his case. She analysed the case at a hearing in the Family Division of the High Court in London in November and has revealed her decision in a written ruling published on a website.
