A woman who was forced into a house by a predator and held down on a bed was horrified as she saw him walking the streets of the city centre before he was found guilty of his vile attack.
In 2018, at just 17 years old, the woman was attacked by John Stanley after a night out in Liverpool city centre. After coercing her to get in his car, Stanley later drove her to a house, dragged her inside and pinned her down with his hands around her neck.
She later managed to escape after hitting him across the head and running out of the home and finding a woman on the street who helped her get away. The woman later told police about the incident and Stanley was eventually located but he denied the offences and his trial only took place earlier this year, with a jury finding him guilty.
