Faces of the 12 paedophiles and perverts brought to justice this year in Merseyside

These are the faces of 12 paedophiles and perverts linked to Merseyside jailed so far this year for terrible sex crimes. This grim list includes a cowardly sex attacker who targeted a girl in a nightmare ordeal as she walked home from school. Judges dealt with one young man who groomed girls on Snapchat before subjecting them to sexual abuse, some of which the sick pervert filmed on his mobile phone, and another predator who used the social network to groom a child before repeatedly raping her. Courts heard details of how deviants – including two university workers – collecting sickening images and in one case, even planned to have sex with a 13-year-old girl while her mum watched. Meanwhile, a monstrous paedophile guilty of historic sex offences was also sentenced. But thanks to brave victims who were willing to speak out – and in some cases go through the ordeal of giving evidence at trials – these sick individuals were locked up, meaning our communities are safer.
