A child rapist who moved in with an unsuspecting mother of five young children in “flagrant and deliberate” breach of Court orders has been locked up for three years.

Police caught Brian Peacock in bed with the woman and her six-year-old daughter, who was lying between them, Bradford Crown Court heard yesterday.

His new partner, who had repeatedly left him alone to mind the children, was shocked to learn of his past, said prosecutor Dave Mackay.

Peacock, 24, was supposed to be living at an address in Fernbank Road, Undercliffe, Bradford, when he “went under the radar” and moved in with the family in another part of the city.

He had also lodged at another address in Bradford, where a boy aged nine was living, Mr Mackay told the court.

At one time, Peacock babysat all six of the children together as well as taking trips to the shops with them and doing school runs.

It was stressed in court by Peacock’s solicitor advocate, Ray Singh, that Social Services staff had interviewed the children and there was no suggestion they had been abused in any way.

In May 2006, a teenage Peacock was locked up for five years for raping two young girls he was babysitting in another part of West Yorkshire.

He told them he would hang their pet dog if they did not keep quiet about the attacks.

Passing sentence then, the Recorder of Leeds, Judge Norman Jones, made orders preventing Peacock having contact with any child under the age of 16 without supervision for the rest of his life.

Bradford Crown Court heard that within six months of his release, Peacock was sending “dirty and sexual” text messages to a girl aged 14.

He was jailed for 12 months in June 2009 for breaching a Sexual Offences Prevention Order.

Peacock pleaded guilty to eight offences, two of failure to tell the police where he was living and six of breaching a Sexual Offences Prevention Order, all between January 1 and July 29 this year.
