‘My Dad Was A Grooming Gang Predator Who Raped My Mum At 14… I’m The Product Of That Abuse'

Kevin O’Sullivan speaks to son of a grooming gang member and victim, Jayden Sheeran. Jayden was conceived after his mother, Jodie, was raped by a Pakistani man in 2004. Jayden’s biological father was arrested and charged, but the charges were dropped the day of the trial. Jodie's mother, Ange, relentlessly pursued justice, but faced dismissal. Jayden shares his feelings of unwantedness and the impact of his mother's traumatic past, including her addiction and eventual death. He calls for justice and accountability, emphasising the need for a public inquiry into the rape gang scandal and the systemic failures that have allowed perpetrators to evade justice.
