Paedophiles are grooming women to bear their children, giving them easy access to victims, according to a child abuse charity.
MOSAC - a charity which supports the non-abusing parents and carers of abused children - says a third of all calls to its helpline are from women who believe they have been groomed into conceiving a child.
Director Nigel Newton Sawyerr said: "Paedophiles who are very devious will go to any lengths to access children. Who's more vulnerable than their own children?"
Sky News spoke to "Susan", a mother-of-two who believes her youngest was bred for the purpose.
Her ex-partner was convicted and sentenced to five years in jail for abuses against her eldest daughter, from a previous relationship.
The offences included nine counts of sexual assault.
Since that abuse was disclosed, Susan's youngest daughter has admitted that she is also a victim of the same man, her own father.
"When my youngest daughter turned round and said to me that he had abused her from the moment she could remember ... when she was in nappies ... that's when I was convinced that he had had her to abuse her," Susan said.
Susan believes she was deliberately targeted.
"He was very persuasive about me coming off the pill. So, I was groomed in many ways I think to produce a child for him," she said.
Sixteen years and £30,000 later, Susan is preparing for yet another court battle to keep her former partner away from her children.
"It's shocking. I would never have believed in a million years how set in stone his rights are, despite the conviction."
In the majority of cases a family court judge will reject the requests of a parent to gain access to their child, where that parent has already been convicted of sexual offences against that child.
But campaigners say that does not stop a paedophile parent's right to make repeated requests for access - a heavy financial and emotional burden to bear for the victim and the non-abusive parent.
Barrister Sophia Cannon says the law under the Children's Act will always take into consideration the wellbeing of a child in each case.
But she adds that it is "skewed towards the idea that all mothers and fathers who want to be involved in a child's life, can be involved."
"What it doesn't look at are the parents to whom responsibility has certainly fallen short," she said.
MOSAC is now lobbying the Government for change and campaigners recently met Justice Minister Simon Hughes MP.
He is sympathetic to their cause, insisting the Government is committed to eradicating the "abhorrent crime" of child sexual exploitation.
"We are absolutely clear that no child should be put at risk of abuse and the courts will always make the wellbeing of children their key consideration in reaching decisions on contact with parents.
"Robust protective orders already exist to remove or restrict parental responsibility in order to protect children.
"But we continue to keep this issue under close scrutiny to see if further measures are needed."
