A man who sexually abused a teenage girl told her "if anyone finds out, say you instigated it."
Gary Austin, 35, started a paedophilic relationship with the teen, who was described as being vulnerable in court. Preston Crown Court heard that Austin, of Egerton in Skelmersdale, plied her with cider and convinced her she was in a "mutually loving" relationship with him.
Prosecuting, Lucy Worsley said the pervert began at a time when the girl was going through a fallout with some of her family. She said that Austin first kissed her when both he and the girl had been drinking.
