A prolific paedophile who undertook a “campaign of sexual abuse” against his victims cried as he heard he may not live to see the end of his sentence.
Allan Mitchell, 75, of Washington Parade, Bootle, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Monday after pleading guilty to over 30 sexual offences against two victims. Ben Jones, prosecuting, detailed that Mitchell groomed and repeatedly abused a young teenage girl over a period of five years, and assaulted another girl in the 1970s.
Mr Jones said the offending came to light after Mitchell took the first victim to a wooded area last year with the intention of making her sleep with other men. Mitchell made the girl change into “skimpy clothing”, and then as two dog walkers approached, lifted her top and asked them if they “liked what they saw”.
