A DAD received £25,000 legal aid to fight an inquest which concluded that he probably sexually abused his 13-month-old daughter before she died.
Paul Worthington, 50, refused to answer 252 questions about the last moments of Poppi, who suffocated in his bed in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, in 2012.
Coroner David Roberts ruled in 2018 that she was probably sexually assaulted by her father.
Worthington has since been under £50,000-a-year police protection.
A High Court judge has also concluded Worthington probably sexually abused the toddler.
John Woodcock, MP for Barrow-in-Furness, said: “This will be hugely alarming for all those people in dire circumstances who can’t access any kind of legal aid support”.
Poppi’s mum said Worthington had “frustrated” the inquest by refusing to give evidence.

A bungled police probe into Poppi’s death means nobody has been charged over her death.
Worthington has also received £117,000 legal aid to fight a custody battle for his other children.
And he will get legal aid for a failed challenge to the coroner’s ruling.
