A teenage girl was raped in a city centre alleyway by a predator as his friend kept watch for him.
Liverpool Crown Court heard that Ryan Dunning had acted as look-out while 37-year-old Kevin Lloyd ripped off his victim’s clothing and raped her while she was too incapacitated through drink to fight back. Judge Louise Brandon described the incident which happened at 1.40am on March 21 last year, as “every woman’s worst nightmare".
The two defendants were “manipulative and predatory” and added that Dunning “has an unhealthy interest in young women” and is a risk to adults and children. The two men are both convicted paedophiles and were on licence at the time of the rape, and shared the same hostel accommodation in Boundary Street near the city centre.
