The mum of two girls targeted by a paedophile said she doesn’t know whether she will ever be able to tell them about the incident.
Luke McHugh climbed through an open window into the girls’ bedrooms in Knowsley to sexually assault them but was disturbed by their father before he could attack them. He was jailed for ten years at Liverpool Crown Court on Friday.
McHugh was not supposed to be able to leave his secure accommodation without supervision because of his risk to children but he tampered with the window of his bedroom to escape and target the family home. In a statement to the court on Friday, the girls’ mother said her relief at him being stopped was tempered by constant worry over what could have happened to her children.
