A dad called his 13-year-old son a ‘p***y’ after he refused to have intercourse with a sex worker, a court heard.

The boy’s mum had reluctantly agreed to let her son have a night with his dad at a hotel in Bromley, southeast London.

But when he arrived, his dad offered him cocaine and said: ‘I’ve bought a brass.’

The boy told his dad he didn’t want the drugs or have sex with the women, to which he responded: ‘Don’t be a p***y.’

The two sex workers were reportedly already on their way in a taxi. When they arrived, the dad told them his son was 18 years old.

The teenager was then taken to another room where he reluctantly allowed a 26-year-old woman to perform a sex act on him, the court heard. In a police statement, the boy said he didn’t want to and felt disgusting afterwards.

His dad paid the two sex workers £150 as they left.

Later that night, the boy’s mum received a message from the father saying: ‘P*ss off. I’ll guard him with my life let the boy stretch his wings.’

When she found out what had happened, the mum alerted police and the dad was arrested.

At Croydon Crown Court this week, the dad insisted that he is a ‘good father.’

He said: ‘I might not look it in your eyes.

‘It was only because he was feeling down because he’d broken up with his girlfriend and he said he’d done all that stuff before.

‘I’ve genuinely got a good heart. On paper I must sound like an absolute reprobate but that’s not the case at all.’

The dad, who cannot be named to protect his son’s identity, pleaded guilty to arranging for a child to engage in sexual activity and offering to supply cocaine.

He was sentenced to four years in prison for arranging a child sex offence.

Judge Anthony Hyams-Parish told the father he had attempted to humiliate his own son.

He said: ‘He seems to be a very bright, intelligent and very sensible young man. But at 13, he was young and impressionable.

‘As his father he no doubt looked up to you. He didn’t have a choice. He went along with what you asked, you clearly gave no thought to the impact on your son.

‘He [the son] should feel no guilt whatsoever. He was the more sensible person in all of this.’
