A paedophile planned to go on the run with £10,000 after being caught with child sex abuse photos.
David Morris, 52, was caught trying to abscond with girlfriend Julie Morris the day after police raided his home. When officers tracked down the couple, they found them with a huge sum of cash and a campervan packed with their belongings.
Morris was sentenced to 16 years in prison in December for raping and sexually assaulting a young girl along with Julie Morris, who worked as a deputy headteacher at St George's Central Primary School in Tyldesley, near Wigan, where she was the "safeguarding lead". Liverpool Crown Court heard in December that none of the offences committed by the pair were related to Julie Morris' job.
