Dad of 26 children appears in court; accused of abuse spanning 23 years (Glasgow, Scotland)

Notice that this UNNAMED DAD had 26 children with at least four women. It appears that Dad deliberately targeted women with substandard intelligence and/or other issues for his apparent personal breeding program and pedophile ring. Notice how this guy has also been able to get bail with no problem. This is typical, unfortunately.

Father of 26 children appears in court accused of abuse spanning 23 years

A DAD who fathered 26 children is facing rape and abuse charges involving his kids.

The 44-year-old, who cannot be identified, is accused of 25 abuse, violence and neglect charges spanning 23 years.

Social workers have spent years removing boys and girls from his care over fears he was grooming them for abuse. Some were taken into care, fostered or adopted.

But when the children are removed, he has bragged to the authorities: "If you keep taking them away I'll just have more."

Glasgow City Council social workers and Strathclyde Police protection officers believe he has 26 kids by at least four women.

Most of the mothers of his children - from babies to a daughter aged 20 - are vulnerable and of low intelligence.

He put his name on the birth certificates of at least eight of his oldest kids but no longer does so in an attempt to avoid social work and police scrutiny.

A source said: "He married and had three daughters and a son. He then had two sons and two daughters to another woman.

"They're the eight with his name on the certificate. He's learned it's harder for the authorities if he isn't named as the father."

His latest partner is 41 and it is thought he has fathered four children with her.

They were last known to be living in the city's Ruchazie area, where neighbours labelled him The Beast.

Five years ago the Sunday Mail first exposed the case, which sickened police and social workers.

He was then living in the city's Dalmarnock area with another woman, who had produced four children to him since 1998. All had been taken into care.

Social workers believe he may have fathered 10 more children.

Sources close to the case say the man and his then partner had an "open" relationship with numerous sexual partners, prompting concerns the group was also a paedophile ring.

The man has never been convicted of any offences against children. However, courts have ordered that his children be removed from his care.

They heard detailed claims of sexual abuse and concerns the children may become targets.

A police source said: "He is allowed legal representation where a local authority is taking a child into care or placing them in foster care or adoption. His legal fees could be £500,000."

The man appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court last month, facing charges ranging over 23 years from 1987 to 2010.

They include one rape, two of sodomy, three involving lewd and libidinous behaviour, numerous assaults and breach of the peace.

He faces 10 charges under the Children & Young Persons (Scotland) Act 1937, relating to ill treatment, neglect or abandonment. Police and social workers were stunned he was granted bail.
A Crown Office spokesman said: "No dates have been set. The Crown opposed bail."
