The justice secretary has agreed to look into the decision to let a "predatory" paedophile jet off on holiday before being sentenced.
The long-distance lorry driver abused one of the girls for a number of years, beginning when she was aged seven, and assaulted the second victim after plying her with alcohol and drugs.he could still take a pre-booked week-long trip to Kos before he was sentenced on 18 November. But Mr Jarvis, the Labour MP for Barnsley Central, said it was "completely unacceptable" that a dangerous child sex offender who "caused his victims to suffer terribly" had been free to take a holiday abroad.
Mr Raab, who is also the deputy prime minister, said he could not comment on individual cases but would "look at that very carefully".
