Paedophile targeted schoolgirl on family day out to busy arcade

A mum has revealed how her family were left "feeling like criminals" after a paedophile arcade worker targeted her daughter.

While families enjoyed the summer weather and bank holidays during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, a family headed to Lytham St Anne's arcade. But within an hour of arriving at the popular destination north of Merseyside, their 15-year-old daughter was frozen in fear when Omar Hayes molested her while she played on an arcade machine.

The girl's mum, speaking out after Hayes was jailed for six months for the attack, said she was horrified to learn the arcade security guard has previously been to prison for taking upskirt photos of schoolgirls.
