A twisted paedophile was brought to justice after a campaign of rape against a young child.
Christopher McConnell dragged out his victim's ordeal by denying his guilt, resulting in an eight-day trial at Liverpool Crown Court. Jurors heard how McConnell would hold a pillow over his victim's face when they became upset and used threats to keep them quiet.
However the 36-year-old, from Warrington but most recently of Prestbury Drive, Stockport, was found guilty of four counts of child rape and hauled back to court today for sentence. The case against McConnell began in September 2021 when Cheshire Constabulary received reports that he had raped and assaulted a young child.
