The Offender Database reported that William Preece, the Huddersfield Paedophile Child Molester, has been sentenced to 17 years in prison.
The 36-year-old received a sentence at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court after previously confessing to two counts of raping a minor and one act of sexual assault.
The predator encountered the 12-year-old schoolgirl from Stoke-on-Trent in a chatroom, designated Starbucks as a meeting location, and removed the back seats of his vehicle to install a mattress for the purpose of committing his reprehensible acts.
William Preece, a resident of Huddersfield, is currently under a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and is indefinitely registered as a sex offender.
Staffordshire Police have expressed approval of the conviction and sentencing, yet refused to break William Preece’s anonymity by releasing a custody photo to the public.
