Unbelievable messages a man sent to a 12-year-old girl on Facebook before threatening to rape her

THESE are the depraved messages an alleged paedophile sent to a 12-year-old girl on Facebook before threatening to rape her when her mum intervened.

The vile man, who is aged in his 30s, used the profile picture of a handsome teenage boy while interacting with the vulnerable child on social media.

But his’ sick messages were exposed by the girl’s mum who lives in Rochdale, Greater Manchester – an area which was infamously rocked by a scandal centring on a gang of paedos.

The man initially contacted the schoolgirl online and bombarded her with disturbing messages before sending her a video showing him performing a sex act – which revealed his real age.

Among the disgusting emails, the man wrote: “I’m in love with you. Badly. Let’s video call.”

He asked if the girl was a “virgin” and whether she was “horny.”

But the creepy messages became even more sinister when the child’s mum contacted the man and said she would call the police.

The man threatened to sexually assault the girl, writing: “I will make sure I rape your daughter.”

He then added: “Shut up. You are not telling anything to police. Or else I’ll rape your daughter.

The horrified mum contacted an action group called Parents Against Grooming – set up in the wake of the systematic abuse of 47 vulnerable girls by a Rochdale-based gang in 2012.

Billy Howarth, from the group, said one of his team accompanied the frightened mother to the police station where she handed over the sick messages.
