Mother Woke Up To Discover her best friend molesting her 21-month-old daughter in bed



A man will be jailed for eight months after he indecently touched his best friend's daughter.

The single mother told the Warwick district court that she said she heard a 'different noise' while sleeping.

When she turned on the lights found she found the man with his pants undone and beside her 21-month-old daughter, whose nappy around her ankles, according to The Chronicle.






When the mother asked him what he was doing, she said that he picked up his shoes and left.

'I just lost it at that point... I swore at him and told him to get out of my house,' the mother told the court.

She told the court she allowed the man, she described as her 'best friend', to stay at her home for the night as he was too drunk to go home, as reported by the Warwick Daily News.

The mother told the court that she shared the bed with her daughters, both under the age of 12, and that the man shared it with them that night on the night of the offence.

The next day the toddler was taken to hospital and the doctor found no signs of distress on her.

In the first trail, the man pleaded not guilty and, after four days, the jury could not come to a unanimous verdict.
