15yo sex attack victim raped again by driver she flagged down for help
Police have launched a double manhunt after a teenage girl was raped at a Birmingham railway station, only to be attacked a second time by a passing motorist she had flagged down for help.
The 15-year-old girl had walked with her friend to Witton railway station, near Aston Villa football ground, on Tuesday night. Police say she was approached by the first suspect, who led her away to an isolated part of the station where she was then raped.
The attack took place between 7pm on Tuesday and 2am on Wednesday.
After the first attack, the teen left the station and stopped a passing car to ask the driver for help. She was then raped again after getting into the second suspect’s vehicle.

'Aggressive' Cambridge paedophile abused and groomed child into thinking they were lovers
BY SAMAR MAGUIRE
An "aggressive" paedophile has been found guilty of sexually abusing and grooming a child into becoming his consensual teenage lover.
Robin Matthews, 63, of Hobart Road, Cambridge, was convicted by a jury of 21 counts of child sex abuse on two young children going back as far as 1970 up until 1992 following a week-long trial.
The victims had felt too ashamed to come forward or tell anyone until 2015.
Matthews would forcibly take the victims and sexually assault or rape them, before giving them money or threaten to kill them if they told anyone.
Matthews drove one victim to a beach where a hole was dug and threatened to put them in it.
The victims were as young as four years old and the abuse took place regularly for years.
Matthews sexually abused one victim until the age of consent, where the victim felt confused into thinking they were lovers and what they did was normal relationship behaviour.
At Cambridge Crown Court today (July 28), Judge David Farrell QC said that the offences have had “awful effects” on the victims.
Matthews gave no comment during proceedings, even during evidence – only that “he did not do it”.
Judge Farrell, who committed Matthews to custody following the verdict, added that Matthews will get a “very significant” sentence.
The court will decide on his sentence on August 31.
Alvaston dad had 40,000 sick child abuse
videos and pictures
BY MARTIN NAYLOR
A graphic designer was found with more than 40,000 sick child abuse videos and photographs when police raided his Derby home.
Father-of-one, Lee Elmore, also had movies of a woman engaged in a sex act with a dog and admitted he had been downloading indecent material for a decade.
The 40-year-old, of Alvaston, was snared when he got into an email exchange with an undercover detective who he sent some of the images to.
Derby Crown Court heard that he asked the officer if he had ever had sex with a minor and also told him how he “had only done it once but wanted to do it again soon”.
And, in his police interview, he admitted that he viewed the vast amount of material “because he got sexual gratification” from doing so.
Jailing Elmore, for 20 months at Derby Crown Court, Judge Nirmal Shant QC said: “It is alarming to see the conversation between you and the undercover officer. What is of concern is that in your probation service report you are assessed to pose a high risk of serious harm to children. These are serious matters and what makes them even more serious is the period of time you viewed and downloaded these indecent images.”
Steven Taylor, prosecuting, said police raided Elmore’s home, in Harvey Road, on June 18 where they seized his electronic devices.
Analysis uncovered 41,453 indecent films or images of children, of which more than 2,000 were the most serious Category A which depicts adults and children engaged in sexual acts.
Experts also found three extreme pornographic movies involving a woman and a dog and 795 prohibited images, which include animated scenes of child sex abuse.
Mr Taylor said on the devices they discovered 108 movies and 1,949 images of Category A; 20 films and 3,306 photographs of category B and 35 moving images and 36,035 photographs of category C.
They also found the prohibited and extreme films and images.
Mr Taylor said: “The defendant was arrested and interviewed during which he was extremely open, saying he had been viewing indecent images of children for a number of years and had installed software that would hide his internet address when he went looking for it.
Elmore pleaded guilty to a five-count indictment of possessing and distributing child pornography.
Stuart Newsome, mitigating, said his client was a father-of-one who accepts his relationship with his son and elderly parents “is going to be affected in the future”.
He said: “This defendant’s history has been very difficult for him to come to terms with. He accepts that custody is the only option for him but he is motivated to work with the authorities on his problem while he is inside.”
Speaking after sentencing, an NSPCC spokesperson said: “Elmore built up an appalling catalogue of child abuse material and is now rightly behind bars. Behind every indecent image is a child who has been abused in the real world and is being abused again every time that image is accessed online."
“The knowledge that their image can be repeatedly viewed and may never be removed contributes to their on-going trauma. To help tackle and prevent the publication of these online child abuse images, the NSPCC is calling on internet companies and authorities to share information, expertise and resources.”
Anyone concerned about a child can call the NSPCC helpline on 0808 800 5000, while children and young people can contact Childline free and confidentially on 0800 1111 or via www.childline.org.uk .

Paedophile doctor gets consultant job at Barnsley Hospital despite conviction for child porn
Dr Philip McAndrew has been allowed to work by the General Medical Council after having to quit a job at an Irish hospital when his 1998 conviction emerged there
A PAEDOPHILE doctor has been working in a hospital despite a conviction for having child sex abuse pictures.
Dr Philip McAndrew is a consultant and has been allowed to work under eight conditions set by the General Medical Council.These include being overseen by a supervisor but none of the rules appear to relate specifically to contact with kids.
A source alerted us to the married dad’s six-figure salary job at Barnsley Hospital and branded it a “disgrace”.
They added: “A lot of people don’t know about his past and they should be warned. Some of the staff are very unhappy about it.”
Child protection expert and ex-cop Mark Williams-Thomas said: “The GMC and hospital should not be allowing it. I don’t care what conditions he is under. Does he have a chaperone 24 hours a day?”
Radiologist McAndrew, 56, was working at the Victoria Hospital in Fife when his house was raided by police.
He admitted possessing the images, described by his own lawyer as “revolting”, when he appeared in court in 1998.
He changed his plea in a legal argument on the computer photos but was convicted.
McAndrew, fined £1,500 but not jailed, had to quit a job at an Irish hospital when his conviction emerged there.
He is believed to have split from first wife Susan, 65, with whom he has a grown-up son, and now has a ten-year-old girl and three-year-old boy with second wife Caroline, 41.
