Victim of 'evil' child rapist describes nightmares she is left with after his depraved attacks

Depraved: John Paul Lee

The victim of a child rapist has told how her "evil" attacker forced her to smoke and take drugs from the age of seven, and spoke of the devastating impact his assaults have had on her.

John Paul Lee was jailed for 17 years yesterday for the rape and indecent assault of two young girls, one as young as four.

The 36-year-old, of Lytham Road in Blackpool, was found guilty of nine counts of raping a child and six counts of indecently assaulting a child after repeatedly abusing the girls at an address in Oldham between 2002 and 2008.

After plying the youngsters with drink and drugs, he would force them to watch pornography and perform sex acts on him, as well as raping and indecently assaulting them.

One of the girls was just four when the sickening abuse began, and the other was eight.

Speaking after he was jailed, one of his victims described how Lee had stolen her childhood.

She said: "When I look back to when the abuse was happening to me I realise that I was not a normal child - he made me experiment with drugs and started me smoking at the age of seven.

"I had no childhood. I struggle to sleep. When I wake up in the night I have to turn my light on to make sure no one else is in the room and I have nightmares frequently.

"They are about what he did to me but mainly him making me watch him do things to the other victim. I hear her screaming. I see her crying and I feel helpless that I cannot stop it."

PC Natalie Eastwood said the two girls had their childhoods snatched away from them "in the most appalling of circumstances."

She added: "Lee is an evil, depraved man who subjected them both to unimaginable abuse.

"It was heart-wrenching for me to hear what lasting and significant impact the abuse has had on them both physically and psychologically and try as I might I cannot adequately reflect this is words"

She said this made the fact the girls had bravely come forward "all the more remarkable", and police would ensure abusers like Lee did not get away with their heinous crimes.

Lee was also ordered to sign the Sex Offenders Register for life.

A veteran folk and rock singer who has performed alongside Pink Floyd is facing charges over historic sexual offences against an under-age girl.

"The charges are in connection with offences alleged to have taken place in Herefordshire between 1975 and 1977 and relate to one victim."

A glamour model who became pregnant with Calum Best’s child, had “an arrangement” with the News of the World to meet celebrities in nightclubs and pass on gossip to the paper, a court heard.

Lorna Hogan said she worked for the Supermodels Agency, which arranged for her to attend nightclubs and bars where celebrities frequented.

In 2005 she met Mr Best, 32, the son of legendary footballer George, and the pair began a brief relationship, which resulted in her falling pregnant and giving birth to a daughter.

Miss Hogan said at the time she was regularly passing information about showbusiness personalities she met to a News of the World journalist called Chris Tate.

She said: “My arrangement was if I was to meet any celebrities it was to get any gossip and to sell it to the newspaper.”

She went on: “I met Calum on numerous occasions over a couple of years and me and Calum Best got together for a short time and I fell pregnant and had a daughter to him.”

Miss Hogan said in 2005 after she became pregnant she was invited to London to meet with Ian Edmondson, the News of the World’s head of news.

She told the court: “I met Ian Edmondson, we had lunch and he put a lot of pressure on me to sell my story and sell the scan picture of my daughter.

At he time they wanted to know what the sex was and they told me not to talk to anyone else.”

Miss Hogan said she did give the News of the World a scan picture of the baby, but said she never received any money for it.

The News of the World later ran a story with the headline: “Best’s First Grandchild.”

After the baby was born she severed ties with the News of the World and began dealing with the Mirror.

Earlier, Calum Best told the court he sold stories to the News of the World about a nightclub liaison with Elizabeth Jagger.

The former model admitted he received £2,000 from the former Sunday tabloid, which published a story about the romp entitled, Calum Confesses.

Mr Best, 32, described himself as a "television personality" who had appeared in programmes such as "Celebrity Love Island".

He admitted that stories in the press about his private life "came with the territory".

He also admitted accepting £3,000 from the paper in December 2005 for a series of interviews he provided about the death of his father.

The jury in the phone hacking trial were told that Mr Best's voicemails were intercepted by Glenn Mulcaire who worked for the News of the World in 2005 and 2006.

Mr Best admitted he and his agents sometimes provided information to journalists on the paper in return for money.

But he denied he had received cash for a story headlined: "Calum: How Dad Drove Me To Drugs."

He said: "That came from a friend of Alex Best, who was my dad's wife."

He added: "It was me saying it to someone who then went on to give it to the newspaper without my approval."
