Her family was unaware of the horrifying attack, and social services looked into the matter at the time.
“It has come as a big shock,” a family friend said in 2021 to The Sun.

The story went viral when it was announced that 13-year-old Alfie Patten was going to become a father.
Even the prime minister at the time, David Cameron, offered his thoughts on the 2009 case, in which it was alleged that the father had fathered a child before reaching the legal age to buy party poppers.
The Tory leader stated at the time, “I just thought how worrying that in Britain today children are having children.”
At the age of twelve, Alfie had intercourse with his then-girlfriend Chantelle Steadman, then fifteen, during a sleepover in Lower Dicker, East Sussex, and believed he had gotten her pregnant.
