Youth club volunteer preyed on victim, 13

A serial sex predator used a specially adapted youth club van to prey on a vulnerable 13-year-old girl.

Richard Blackburn, a volunteer at the Congregational Church Youth Club in Raphoe, Co Donegal, attacked Rachel McAuley for up to two years and even put a bed in the vehicle.

Ms McAuley yesterday waived her anonymity so that Blackburn could be named in court.
