A paedophile identified as Anthony Morgan who raped a young girl for 225 times from the age of six has been jailed for 16 years in United Kingdom, UK.
According to Judge Andrew Menary of Liverpool Crown Court, Morgan targeted the girl in a ‘campaign of rape’, ruining her life, often while high on cocaine and alcohol.
Menary said, “You repeatedly raped almost week in, week out that young girl, on too many occasions to count. What you have done to this girl is to essentially ruin her life up to this point.
‘Who knows whether or not she will ever recover from the psychological ordeal and impact you have inflicted upon her.
“You accept you have an unhealthy and abiding sexual interest in young children.
“I have no doubt at all that you pose a high risk of serious harm to children and will continue to do for an indefinite and unquantifiable period in the future.
“The girl confided in an adult that the rapes had been happening ‘for as long as she could remember.”
Prosecutor, Dan Travers also told the court that the victim said the accused would bribe her using ice cream and other treats while telling her that nobody would believe if she told them what has being happening between them, UK Metro reports.
Travers said: “He would ask her to have sex and when she refused he would keep asking. He would eventually get angry and just do it anyway.”
Morgan, who pleaded not guilty to eight counts of rape and one count of attempted rape denied raping the girl no fewer than 60 times before she turned five.
Ruling on the matter, Justice Menary held that Morgan will spend two thirds of his sentence in prison before being considered for parole and will have to sign the sex offenders’ register for life.
