A paedophile was already being investigated for the alleged sexual abuse of another child when he abducted and attacked a six-year-old schoolgirl.
Lewis Jones, 24, from Brocklebank Lane, Allerton, abducted and violently attacked the schoolgirl while she and some friends made a den on a field in Tameside, Manchester. Jones was sitting on a bench when he secretly took pictures of the children's bottoms, before he took his chance to snatch the girl.
He picked her up and ran over to a wooded area, covering her mouth with his hand so she couldn't scream out for help. Manchester Crown Court heard that during a near 30 minute period while he was alone with her, Jones subjected the child to a horrific, violent sexual attack, leaving her covered in blood, MEN reports.
