Rishton Paedophile Ryan Andrew Ramsbottom had sex with an underage girl and tried to ‘manipulate’ one of her friends to have sex with him in a car park
The ‘predatory paedophile’ approached the first victim in Accrington and asked if she would like to have sex with him and then suggested she could ‘bring people to his house’.
The next day the pub doorman, Ryan Andrew Ramsbottom, from Rishton, asked to meet her at a chip shop before driving to a ‘quiet local spot’ insisting she would be ok.
The 32-year-old then asked to have sex with her and when she said no he took hold of her hand, hurting her badly, and threatened to tell a relative ‘that she had tried it on with him’.
The victim was ‘effectively forced’ in fear of her life to perform a sex act upon him and afterwards Ryan Andrew Ramsbottom said he would deny it if she reported it to the police.
The defendant, Ryan Andrew Ramsbottom, also told the victim that if he contacted her in the future and asked for sex ‘she must agree to it so that it didn’t look like he was forcing her’ causing her to fear for her life.
Ryan Andrew Ramsbottom later told the victim that if she got one of her friends to have sex with him ‘he would leave her alone’.
When the deviant paedophile contacted her at a skate park in Accrington her friend, who had been drinking, bravely agreed to have sex with him to stop him harassing her.
Both girls went to the nearby Tesco car park and her friend got into the vehicle.
Ryan Andrew Ramsbottom then kissed her and sexually touched her ‘all over her body’ before she left feeling disgusted and scared.
Back in her home, where she should have been safe, she ran into her parents bedroom and the defendant followed her up before rifling through a chest of drawers and telling her to put on some clothing.
When she refused Ryan Andrew Ramsbottom wrapped the clothing around her neck strangling her and put it in her mouth before having sex with her. She could not breathe.
Ms Johnson said both girls later reported the rapes to teachers, having spent agonising about it and blaming themselves, who then reported it to police.
The defendant’s movements were later tracked using his mobile phone and his DNA was also found on the clothing he had used to try and tie up his victim.
Ryan Andrew Ramsbottom, of Oak Close, Rishton, pleaded guilty on the day of trial to violently raping the two under age girls.
He had previously been convicted for sex offences in 2002 when he was a 14-year-old with a young child.
Ryan Andrew Ramsbottom was jailed for nine years and given a 10-year sexual harm prevention order.
He was also ordered to sign the sex offenders register for life.
The two underage girls were lauded as being being brave and courageous for stopping this heinous rapist in his tracks.
Without the girls’ steadfast resolve this paedophile would have undoubtedly gone on to rape again.
