As a grooming investigation rumbled on, a paedophile was free to kidnap child
As Judge Hilary Manley jailed Lewis Jones for life at Manchester Crown Court, her words left the top ranks of Merseyside Police concerned.
When the girl's grandad realised what was going on, Jones was reported and arrested, and sexual images of other young girls were found on his phone. He was interviewed twice by Merseyside cops, in June 2020 and April 2021, but he was released under investigation with '"no fetters on his liberty", Judge Manley said, rather than on bail - which allows police to impose strict restrictions on a suspect's movements.
In response to the judge's demands for an explanation, Merseyside Police launched an internal review which Assistant Chief Constable Mark Kameen promised to "personally" oversee. "There are concerning comments the judge has made in relation to it, that's why we've commissioned an immediate review. One of our Assistant Chief Constable's will lead and oversee it personally to understand the full circumstances behind that.
After the six-year-old was kidnapped, the Merseyside case was transferred to Greater Manchester Crown Prosecution Service to link up with the more serious offence. In the end Jones pleaded guilty to kidnap and two counts of sexual assault by penetration in relation to the attack last year, and four counts of sexual activity with a child, sexual assault by penetration and possessing indecent images of children in relation to the 2020 offences.
