A schoolgirl was sexually abused by a window cleaner while out rollerskating in the street.
Neil Rycroft subjected the teenager to the attack in a public toilet block after a "chance encounter". She was left feel "numb and disgusted" as a result of the actions of the "predator".
Liverpool Crown Court heard on Tuesday afternoon that the girl had been out rollerblading shortly before 8pm on the evening in question and saw the defendant driving past her several times in his van. Rycroft later claimed to have been circulating the area looking for houses where there could be potential new customers for his window cleaning business.
