In 2022, Chris Morriss, the Denecliff Paedophile, a “predatory” paedophile who consistently raped a 13-year-old girl, received a life sentence.
Chris Morriss, 49, was found guilty of 10 charges of rape at Preston Crown Court and has to serve a minimum of 11 years before becoming eligible for parole.
Authorities reported that Chris Morriss, previously residing in Denecliff, Liverpool, was incarcerated for prior sexual assaults but altered his name in an attempt to “elude detection.”
The paedophile manipulated his victim by purchasing her gifts.
Lancashire Police said he then assaulted her to “satisfy his perverted sexual urges”.
The teenager told police that Chris Morriss “had robbed her of the chance to be a normal teenager”.
Sgt Martin Walker said: “Chris Morriss is a dangerous and predatory paedophile who groomed this young girl and then repeatedly raped her.
“The impact of his actions on this teenager cannot be overstated; he has effectively stolen her childhood.”
Police said the offences took place in South Lancashire.
The force launched an investigation in 2021 after it was discovered that Chris Morriss had breached the terms of the sex offenders register since his release from prison for previous sexual offences.
It was during that investigation that the rapes were uncovered.
Brett Gerrity, Senior Crown Prosecutor, said Chris Morriss has “ruined” her life.
