Joshua Pemberton, 26, had been freed from jail then claimed he was 14 in messages on social media with the girl who asked: 'Why are you trying to ruin my life?'.
A convicted sex offender who pretended to be a teenage boy before blackmailing and raping a young girl has been jailed for eight years. Joshua Pemberton struck in January 2022 having earlier been freed from jail.
He had pleaded guilty last October to a total of 17 charges including the rape of one girl, underage sex with two more as well as voyeurism and threats made to the fourth. Lady Stacey said this case highlighted the dangers children face with online sex predators who “prey” on them. They messaged on Snapchat and Pemberton went on to pester for nude pictures. The girl was said to have "eventually relented".
Pemberton used his strength to rape the crying girl in the hotel room. She eventually escaped his clutches and fled to the bathroom. A fourth girl - aged 13 - was not physically attacked, but was also preyed upon for pictures. The crimes emerged after police learned Pemberton had been accessing indecent images of children in June 2022.
