Online Predator Convicted After Grooming Teen | Nottingham News

A predator who posed as a teen online to groom a 13-year-old, then raped her in the woods, was sentenced to nine-and-a-half years — and faces automatic deportation.

A key breakthrough came when police found an Afghan ID card on his device. The victim’s bravery was pivotal in securing conviction for multiple charges, including rape, child sex offenses, and obstructing justice. This case is a chilling reminder of online predators’ reach — and the power of courage in stopping them. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
