Violent criminal, 24, had regular sex with girl, 14, in care and got her pregnant twice because social services had 'no power to stop him' Alleged victim, 'Jessica', says married Arshid Hussain groomed her Social services said they couldn't stop it despite 'sexual relationship' Hussain, then 24, had violent convictions but never for alleged sex crimes Police allegedly caught them in bed but arrested the girl and not him Authorities 'don't want to take responsibility for what happened', she says Allegations: 'Jessica', a girl of 14, claims that she was sexually abused by a violent criminal but the authorities did not intervene (posed by model) A violent criminal accused of having regular sex with a 14-year-old abused her daily because social services claimed to have 'no power' to stop him, it emerged today. On one occasion the alleged victim, 'Jessica', who fell pregnant twice, ran away and was found half naked under married father-of-two Arshid Hussain's bed but police arrested her and let him go, secret documents have revealed. Hussain, then 24, had convictions for robbery and affray, and was about to be jailed for violent disorder. But Rotherham social services allegedly told Jessica's mother they couldn't stop the relationship because she 'went willingly'. The Times revealed today that Hussain has never been prosecuted for suspected child sex offences, but is now being investigated 14 years on. At the time he was on a social services list of men believed to be grooming up to 40 young girls and more than a dozen believed he was their 'boyfriend'. The case in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, which has become known as Britain's under-age sex capital, is another example of where the authorities have let down a vulnerable children. Under fire: It has been alleged that Rotherham Borough Council (pictured) said they had 'no power' to intervene despite an admission the man and girl were having sex It has been alleged that current council deputy leader, Labour's Jagangir Akhtar, who is related to Hussain, had known of the relationship. The Times' Chief Investigative Reporter, Andrew Norfolk, said on an occasion when Jessica went missing Mr Akhtar set up a 'deal under which a violent offender (Hussain) agreed to hand a missing child to police after being assured that he would not be detained'. But Mr Akhtar, who was a taxi driver at the time, told MailOnline today 'it is total lies' that he knew Hussain was grooming the girl. He also denied there was any deal. Later, Rotherham Council said Mr Akhtar had stepped down from two key roles with the authority - as deputy leader of the council and vice chairman of the Police and Crime Panel. The spokesman said: 'The council has referred the allegations made in the Times newspaper relating to councillor Akhtar to South Yorkshire Police to consider if any criminal offence has been committed and to undertake any appropriate criminal investigation.' They starting seeing eachother regularly and her parents could not keep them apart. In the end she was taken into 'emergency' care. But Jessica was barely in school so the relationship continued, and Hussain would even follow her on holiday, on one occasion renting a caravan in Skegness so they could have sex there. After he was sent to prison for violent disorder and intimidation in a different case, Jessica got an injunction against him. It was like somebody put a spell on me. He didn't tell me he was already married,' Jessica said. Damaging:The authorities in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, have been accused of turning a blind eye to sex grooming gangs for more than a decade, confidential files have revealed A Home Office funded review, examining her case, quoted by The Times said: 'Perpetrator was allowed to contact (Jessica) via mobile telephone, was allowed to arrange to collect her from foster carer's home by ringing in advance and asking to meet him at the end of street' with the 'knowledge and consent' of social services. There was an 'unwillingness to recognise danger of relationship' an 'in the absence of any criminal prosecution of perpetrator as a pimp, all rumours about him were speculation and there was no cause for concern', the paperwork revealed. South Yorkshire Police said it 'deeply regrets' the publication of the Times story 'about an on-going, complex and highly sensitive investigation into matters of historic child sexual exploitation'. The research shows that a string of warnings dating back as far as 2000 were ignored by the authorities. In many cases, police action was taken only against the victims. There is no evidence to link Arshid Hussain to this crime.
