Penshaw man, 38, convicted of locking 16-year-old girl in his B&B room and raping her

A man has been convicted of raping a 16-year-old girl after locking her in his B&B room.

Lee Metcalf met the teenager through social media and arranged to meet up in person. The 38-year-old invited her back to the room which he was staying in at a B&B.

The pair watched Netflix before the girl told him it was time for her to leave. However, Metcalf was unprepared to let her go. He threw her shoes out the window, threatened her and raped her.
