Teen rapist sentenced to nine years in prison
A teenager who raped an 11-year-old girl in the toilets of a supermarket has been sentenced to nine years detention.
The 15-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, assaulted the girl at Sainsbury's store in Lemington Spa, Warwickshire, in March 2.
Judge Marten Coates, at Coventry Crown courts, said: "You took an opportunity when (the victim) bacame separated from her mother. You seized her from behind and, with her eyes and her mouth covered by your hands, you dragged her to a toilet cubicle. The incident appears to have been concluded abruptly because of the fortunate arrival of somebody else into the toilet block."
After raping the girl, he kissed her on the cheek and threatened to hurt her if she told anyone.
The girl told her mum immediately, who contacted the police and the search began. (CD)
