A girl who was filmed being sexually abused by a man twice her age had her life torn apart when the video was shared publicly.
Marcus Ellison was jailed yesterday after impersonating a 16-year-old boy on Snapchat and luring a 13-year-old to a park. The then 30-year-old then filmed them having sex in bushes in Birkenhead Park in a video that he later shared with one of her school friends and which went viral online.
Liverpool Crown Court heard yesterday how the girl was initially left shocked by the sharing of the video and then began to feel shame at people having seen it. Summarising a statement from the victim, Neil Bisarya, prosecuting, said: “She experienced anxiety at school because of people saying things to her, calling her a ‘slag’ having seen the video.
