A prosecutor reported to have called a teenage sex attack victim "predatory" has been suspended from working on other cases involving sexual offences.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) had already called the comment about the 13-year-old girl apparently made during a court case in London "inappropriate".
Following an outcry from children's charities and campaigners, it has now started looking at Mr Colover's overall involvement in sexual offence prosecutions.
The CPS, which has received several formal complaints, said he would not be instructed on any ongoing or future cases involving sexual offences while it investigates.
Neil Wilson, 41, was given an eight-month suspended sentence at Snaresbrook Crown Court in London on Monday after admitting sexual activity with a child.
Mr Robert Colover reportedly told the court: "The girl is predatory in all her actions and she is sexually experienced."
Passing sentence, Judge Nigel Peters then said he had taken into account that the girl looked and behaved "a little bit older" than she was.
"The girl was predatory and was egging you on. That is no defence when dealing with children but I am prepared to impose a suspension," he said.
Wilson, now living in York, had watched the girl strip out of her school uniform at his home in Romford, Essex, before she performed a sex act on him.
Police also found images of child abuse and bestiality at his home.
He admitted two counts of making extreme pornographic images and one count of sexual activity with a child.
Judge Peters told him: "Allowing her to visit your home is something we have to clamp down on and in normal circumstances that would mean a significant term in prison."
The Attorney General is now looking at the case and will decide if it should ask the Court of Appeal to consider whether the punishment was unduly lenient.
