A boy who woke to find a paedophile performing a sex act on him has finally got justice - nearly 20 years later.
The victim, then aged just 14, was sexually abused by Jeff Knibb while he slept one night in the early 2000s. But when he told his mum, a judge said it seemed she "didn't want to take matters further and said he shouldn't be saying things like that".
Two decades later, the now adult victim saw a report in the ECHO in September 2019 about Knibb being jailed for similar sexual offences. Knibb, 50, from Huyton, had been locked up for nine years for molesting two boys - one while he was sleeping - in the 1980s and 1990s.
