Rapist ‘gratified himself on the body of an innocent child’

In her victim impact statement, the mother of the 9-year-old girl said that since the attack, she is living a nightmare that she can’t wake up from.

“He made a cold predatory decision to rape my daughter. He made her believe in her little heart that she would die if she didn’t comply. He gratified himself on the body of an innocent child.”

She said she lies awake at night tormented by unbearable images and that she imagines hearing her child’s heart beating in fear.
