The British news media is reporting details about a horrific sexual abuse case that left a young girl scarred and her unborn baby dead.

A British man has been sentenced to 13 years in jail after being convicted of sexually assaulting the teen and forcing her to have an abortion, The Mirror reports.

Convicted child abuser Stephen O’Toole, of Manchester, began sexually abusing the victim before she was even 16 years old, according to the report. The three-year period of horrific abuses began when O’Toole texted the teen to come to his house; there he raped her for the first time, the report states.

When the young teen became pregnant, O’Toole took her to an abortion clinic and forced her to have an abortion to cover up his crimes, the report states.

The man manipulated the young girl and told her to keep the abuse a secret; but the young teen eventually told her parents and partner, according to the report.

A jury found O’Toole guilty of six counts of rape. He recently was sentenced to jail for 13 years and required to sign a sex offender’s register for life; he also will not be allowed to have any contact with children in the future, the report states.

A detective in the case Nicola Graham told the news outlet that the case sends a message to other victims that they should not be afraid to report their abusers to authorities.

“We will listen, we will believe, and we will try our very hardest to ensure that those people responsible for the sexual abuse of young boys and girls are held to account for their reprehensible actions,” Graham said.

“Stephen O’Toole was a cold, calculated sexual predator who dominated this young girl’s life for years with his exploitation,” Graham continued. “He used her for his own gratification, and when she became pregnant as a result of his abuse, he took her to the [abortion] clinic to try and cover his tracks.”

Other sexual predators have used abortions to cover up horrific abuses. Some abortion clinics also have been caught ignoring sexual abuse and failing to report it to authorities — making it easier for predators like O’Toole to continue abusing their victims.

Life Dynamics, writing for LifeNews, reported earlier this year that a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in California performed two abortions on an underage victim of sexual abuse but failed to report the rape to authorities. The information surfaced in court documents which showed that a California man, convicted of sexually abusing two of his daughters, took the younger one to Planned Parenthood for two abortions without reporting their pregnancies to authorities.

In another case out of Ohio, a 14-year-old girl was impregnated by her 22-year-old soccer coach, a man that she and her parents trusted.  The coach knew that he needed to get this “problem” taken care of as quietly as possible since the pregnancy was proof of his statutory rape – repeated statutory rape, in fact, that began almost a year earlier.  He turned to Planned Parenthood.

With no questions asked, the Planned Parenthood clinic allowed him to sign for the minor’s abortion in place of her mother and father and to speed up the process and perform the abortion quickly in violation of the state’s 24-hour waiting period.  Planned Parenthood staffers didn’t report the sexual abuse to the authorities either – leaving the coach with the opportunity to continue molesting his victim.

The abortion industry also has been caught covering up the sexual abuse of teens. A 2011 undercover investigation by the pro-life group Live Action caught Planned Parenthood employees on video covering up for and coaching a man and a woman posing as sex traffickers and inquiring about how to obtain abortions for the women they victimized.

While some abortion activists claimed the videos were faked, Planned Parenthood was forced to fire one of the staffer in question.
