Prosecutors are considering the findings of a fresh inquest into the death of toddler Poppi Worthington after the coroner ruled was she sexually assaulted by her father.
David Roberts concluded on the balance of probabilities that Poppi was abused before she died on 12 December 2012. Her father, Paul Worthington, denies the accusation. The Crown Prosecution Service said it would look carefully at the judgement along with Cumbria Police. Mr Roberts, senior coroner for Cumbria, ruled, in a third court judgment on the case, that the 13-month-old died from asphyxia following the assault at her home in in Barrow-in-Furness.
He said she died because her ability to breathe was compromised as a result of "an unsafe sleeping environment."
