Girl X rape scandal: Alleged abuser angrily denies relationship with 14-year-old foster care girl
August 25, 2016 7:00am
TEEN VICTIM WAS PUSHED TO THE VERY EDGE
GIRL DIED BEFORE TRIAL OF ALLEGED ATTACKER
SEX ABUSE WARNINGS MADE BEFORE GIRL X’S DEATH
CLAIMS OF COVER-UP AS RAPE ALLEGATIONS DROPPED
THE carer accused of *repeatedly raping a 14-year-old girl in a foster care facility denies having a relationship with her and claims DNA evidence found on the girl’s underwear that points to him was never independently tested.
When confronted by The Daily Telegraph at his north shore home yesterday, the man, now 30, also defended having a picture of the now deceased “high needs” teen, since dubbed Girl X, on his phone, saying “the only picture I had, it was sent to me”.
The Telegraph can reveal the man was one of the first child soldiers to be rescued by an Australian charity after both his mother and father were killed. He married an Australian woman following a short romance in Africa, only to dump her when he arrived in Sydney in 2006.
The Daily Telegraph revealed on Monday that the rape charge against the man was dropped by the Director of Public Prosecutions after the girl died from an overdose in state care, just two weeks before the case was set down for trial in 2014. It was claimed in medical evidence that the DNA profile match on sperm found in Girl X’s underwear with the accused man was “expected to occur in fewer than 1 in 100 billion individuals”.

BETRAYAL: WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR
* Scandal broke in 2012
* A 26-year-old youth worker had “several sexual encounters” with “vulnerable” Girl X, 14, over five-month period at the refuge
* He also had “explicit” photos of another girl at the centre under his care
* Another youth worker at the refuge also had sex with the girl several times during “sleepover shifts”
* Classified as “high needs”, Girl X was so enamoured with worker BJQ, 26, she could “recite” his mobile number
* BJQ was charged with aggravated sexual intercourse with a girl aged 14 after she was brought to Sydney Children’s Hospital following a sexual encounter
* Girl X has since died
* DPP dropped the case against BJQ despite overwhelming DNA evidence due to “inconsistencies in relation to statements made by her prior to her passing”
