Cardiff Crown Court
A PAEDOPHILE who got a 13-year-old pregnant when she was a schoolgirl in the 1990s has been jailed for more than six years.
A court heard how the unborn child of Andrew Higgs and the complainant had health complications and the victim was advised to terminate the pregnancy.
The 43-year-old mechanic, of Meadow Close, Pengam, near Blackwood, had admitted his crime at the time to the authorities but nothing was ever done.
The judge, Recorder Mark Powell QC, told Higgs: “It is a source of considerable mystery and concern that neither the police nor social services took any action.
