A heartless man has been nabbed by the police after he allegedly raped five schoolgirls for 10-years.
Luis Moreno
A shameless paedophile has been jailed for 16 years for grooming and raping five schoolgirls over a ten-year period. The man identified as Luis Moreno has a hunchback spinal deformity yet engaged in such a terrible act.
It was revealed that Moreno, of Aquarius Street, Hulme, abused his victims ‘week in, week out’, the court heard. But it’s only now, after one, and then four other victims spoke to police, that he has finally been brought to justice, Manchester Evening News reports.
Although, Moreno denied nine rape charges and eleven charges of indecent assault, many of which were specimen counts reflecting multiple attacks, he was convicted of them all by a jury of seven women and five men as he was placed on an indefinite harm prevention order restricting any contact with children when he is released.
In his ruling, Judge Andrew Blake said sending down Moreno, who is believed to be suffering from prostate cancer, told him: “You had groomed these girls to do whatever you wanted them to do and they never told anyone.
" You didn’t need to threaten them, although they were frightened of you because they knew you had practised martial arts. You had these young girls in your thrall and at your beck and call.”
The girls were just nine when Moreno began luring them to his home. After molesting them he gave them cash he made from selling pirated feature films and pornographic movies on a market stall. Over time, he escalated his abuse to repeatedly raping them.
Moreno will spend the next 16 years in jail.
