|July 21, 2024
AN MP who became pregnant after being raped at 15 says there is no support for women with children born as a result of non-consensual sex.
Newly elected Natalie Fleet has spoken about her experience of being "groomed" as a teenager and the dilemma she faced when she chose to tell her daughter what had happened.
The Bolsover MP, 40, said: "I wanted to talk about where my daughter came from and about what happened.
"It was really difficult for me to say to her, 'I don't think that this was entirely consensual, and I think I might have been groomed and I don't think this is an appropriate relationship'. She took it really well.
"I Googled in advance for some tips, just a fact sheet or 'how to deal with this' and I found nothing."
Ms Fleet added: "I've found there are over 3,000 conceptions every year from rape. But there's no charity to support those women.
