A judge has revoked a court's decision to grant custody of a boy conceived by the rape of 12-year-old girl, to his father.
Christopher Mirasolo was granted access to the eight-year-old boy and given the current address of his victim, who is now 21-years-old.
The joint custody was granted by a judge in Sanilac County, Michigan without the knowledge of the boy’s mother.
He was was also unaware that Mirasolo was not actually seeking access to the child.
Probate Judge Gregory Ross set aside the ruling which he originally issued on 22 September, according to The Detroit News.
According to the victim and her attorney, Rebecca Kiessling, the custody was given after the victim filled out a questionnaire seeking reimbursement of child support.
The woman identified Mirasolo as the child’s birth father which resulted in the prosecutor’s office filing for a DNA test on his behalf to confirm paternity.
The victim, who was assaulted in September 2008, said she was never consulted regarding joint custody.
County Prosecutor James V Young said his office will conduct an internal review of its policies and procedures as to “how these matters are handled and will be making changes as deemed appropriate.”
Mirasolo did not initiate the custody action, which Young said stemmed from a questionnaire the victim answered in July.
She had received $260 a month in food stamps for three years and wished for this to continue.
