Paedo hid under girl's bed

A PAEDO seduced a girl of 12 — then lived in her bedroom for THREE MONTHS without her mother finding out.

Scott Jennings, 22, cut a giant hole in the bottom of the youngster’s divan bed then used it as a secret den to evade detection if somebody came into the room.

He systematically abused the girl. And when she went to school in the morning, Jennings slipped out of the house to find food. Jennings, of Ashton-under-Lyne, Gtr Manchester, befriended the girl on a bus last year.

Manchester Crown Court heard the girl then swore her ten-year-old sister to secrecy about Jennings.

His lair was found after the 12-year-old ran away with him leaving a note telling her mum not to worry.

Police went to the house and the girl’s sister confessed that Jennings had been hiding there.

Jennings was then found with the child at a flat in Fallowfield, Manchester, later the same day. He denied abducting the child and any sexual involvement but admitted living at the address for three months.

Jennings has now been jailed for two years and three months after he pleaded guilty to two counts of rape and one of sexual assault.

He began chatting her up, persuaded her to give him her mobile phone number and then arranged a date.

When they met, Jennings said he had nowhere to live and confided that he was wanted by police for a minor dishonesty offence.

He told the girl he needed somewhere to hide and was taken into her home unnoticed. The pair then cut a hole in the bottom section of her bed enabling him to hide in it whenever her mum came in.

I hope that's not from a real publication, because the writing is pretty bad.

This girl's really an award-winner...
1)What was she doing speaking with a strange 22-year-old man on the bus?
2)Why give this man her number after he admits he's wanted by the law?
3)Why go to such extremes to hide him?
4)This one is for the parents: What the **** is a 12-year-old doing with a cell phone? Is she supposed to call her babysitter with it?

Some children are given phones now to only be used in "emergency situations only".

But you know how that works.

Yeah, about as well as "abstinence only" sex ed. classes...

I understand that things have changed in 9 years, I just want to know what parents are thinking nowadays...Call me old-fashioned, but I didn't get a cell phone until I was 18 and I still don't have a car - the first one I'll have is one that I pay for.

I hate it when Paedos be chatting me up, and then fuck me in my own room for three months.

This is so fucked up.

11/12/2006 12:40:15 AM

well, it is the sun. so I expected it to be fucked up in quality of writing and the material itself.

Us NC kids had to read some book about a girl hiding a soldier for a while when we were all in sixth grade.

11/12/2006 1:41:25 AM

Summer of My German Soldier, but that was written as fiction, and there was no f***ing involved...

11/12/2006 2:01:55 PM

A firing squad would solve this situation expediently.

11/13/2006 12:48:48 PM

i have never seen Pedo spelled like Paedo before
fucked up story though

11/13/2006 12:59:37 PM

Sounds crazy but 12 year old girls CAN BE PRETTY FUCKING IGNORANT FROM TIME TO TIME.

<-- speaking from experience here, got molested in a church repeatedly and didn't tell anyone because I felt it was my fault.
