- Published
This is the moment police stop child rapist Aqueel Hussain, 33, in the white BMW where he raped a 12-year-old girl.
Described by officers as a "dangerous pervert" with a "depraved sexual interest" in young girls, he was sentenced to 16 years behind bars after being convicted of rape and grooming a girl under the age of 16 at Preston Crown Court.
Hussain pursued the girl on Snapchat and told her he was 19, eventually arranging to meet before driving to a secluded spot and raping her.
Hussain, from Blackburn, was found guilty following a trial earlier this year.
