A paedophile asked a girl if she wanted to see his guinea pigs and groomed her with gifts.
David Campbell subjected two children to a catalogue of sickening sexual abuse when they were aged as young as five. He was jailed for 17 years yesterday, Friday, for his "unforgiveable" actions.
A trial at Liverpool Crown Court, prosecuted by Ben Jones, heard how the 73-year-old targeted one of the youngsters over a period lasting seven years. Campbell, of Longfield Avenue in Crosby, bought another victim dolls and told her to "come and see his guinea pigs" before assaulting her.
