Child – Sexual abuse. A mother had terminated all contact between her children and their father and alleged that he had sexually abused them or otherwise harmed them or, at the very least, exposed them to inappropriate sexual behaviour/language. A fact-finding hearing was established to determine whether the allegations had been proved. The Family Division held that the mother had not satisfied, on a balance of probability, that the father had behaved towards, or in the presence of, the children in any inappropriately sexualised way, or exposed them to inappropriate sexual language.
