Semina Halliwell: Rape victim, 12, took her own life directly after police interview, her mother tells Sky News The mother of Semina Halliwell, a girl with autism who alleged she was raped by a boy from her school, says she holds Merseyside Police accountable for their failures to investigate her complaints.
A 12-year-old rape victim took her own life directly after an interview with a police officer who had previously discouraged her from bringing forward a criminal complaint and subsequently failed to properly investigate it, her mother has told Sky News.
Semina Halliwell, who had autism, alleged she was raped by an older boy who attended the same school as her and had groomed her over Snapchat into secretly meeting him. Her mother, Rachel Halliwell, contacted the police after Semina broke down and told her what had happened following a severe incident of self-harm. But officers from Merseyside Police "made Semina feel like she was an inconvenience to them", according to two family members who were present during interviews, and no charges have been brought against the alleged perpetrator who Semina named.
The family told Sky News that Merseyside Police did not inform Semina's school of the reported rape, despite assurances to the family that safeguarding would be in place. This meant she was forced to stay at home as she was not protected from coming into contact with the alleged perpetrator.
