Judge tells weeping sex attacker he has shown no remorse

A man assaulted a 12-year-old girl while she slept, a court heard.

John Webber appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Monday after pleading guilty to three counts of sexual assault of a girl under 13. Iain Harris, prosecuting, detailed that on one occasion, a 12-year-old girl was told by the defendant that he had “spooned her” when she was asleep.

She responded saying she “didn’t know”, and Webber, 46, then lay behind the victim on a bed and touched her intimately with his hand. The victim pushed his hand away and hid in the bathroom until he fell asleep.
