A paedophile’s wife has blamed his nine-year-old victim for his crimes.

Axar.az reports citing Independent.

The family of a child abuse victim has expressed their outrage after Heiki Andrews, wife of sex offender Peter Andrews, called his victim a “slut” who was “sleeping around”.

Andrews was convicted by a court in Gold Coast, Australia but avoided prison with a suspended sentence because he has terminal cancer.

In a confrontation reported by 9 News, Ms Andrews said to the victim’s family: “You’re negligent parents, her parents didn’t care. That’s why she used to come over and stay.

“She’s a slut at 14 sleeping around, did she learn that off you?”

It is unknown why Ms Andrews referred to the victim as being 14 years old.

The victim’s family said Ms Andrews’ aggression was “absolutely unbelievable”.

“How can you blame a child ten years or younger of coercing a grown man into sexually abusing her?” a relative asked the broadcaster.

When asked about the confrontation, Ms Andrews repeatedly told a local journalist to “f*** off”.

Andrew's used video games and a dog to lure his victim to his house.

He and his wife still live in their home, which is near a children’s centre.

His victim’s family are distributing leaflets to other homes in the area to warn them of Andrews' presence.
