Tressa Middleton: A look at ‘Britain’s youngest mom’ today

Tressa never considered terminating the pregnancy, as she didn’t believe in abortion, even at that young age. She and her friend went to her mother’s house to ask her to tell her, but her aunt was there instead. Tressa’s friend told her aunt that she was pregnant, and her aunt immediately told her to hide.

When her mother heard the news, she was in the bath but ran out after Tressa, wrapped in a towel, and chased her into the street.

It wasn’t until after the birth of her daughter, that Tressa finally found the courage to reveal the true identity of the father.

$500-a-day heroin addiction

Jason, now 35, was found guilty of rape after DNA evidence linked him to the crime. He was sentenced to four years in prison by the High Court in Glasgow.

During the trial, it was revealed that Jason had been abusing Tressa since she was just seven years old. Tressa’s life fell apart in the aftermath, and for a year, she struggled with heroin addiction, feeling lost and broken.

A few years after the trial, Tressa spoke about the hell she had been through.

She told the Daily Mail: ”Sometimes he (her brother) bribed me, blackmailed me, to do it. He’d say he was going to tell Mom. He’d give me things – joints, drink, cigarettes. Or he’d threaten me.”

However, with the support and love of her fiancé, Darren, she found the strength to rebuild her life. Together, they overcame their struggles and got clean.

According to The Sun, Tressa fought to piece her life back together and managed to get clean after developing a $500-a-day heroin addiction.
