A PAEDOPHILE ignored a frantic mum's plea to leave her daughter alone before abducting and abusing the schoolgirl he groomed in an internet chat room.
Married dad Ziad Patel, 29, pestered his 13-year-old victim on the highfive website and bombarded her mobile phone with calls, Leeds Crown Court heard.The girl's mother answered one call on January 20 and told him to go away. She then warned her daughter about the dangers she faced.
Prosecutor, Helen Hendry, said later the same night the girl disappeared and her mother called police, who traced the youngster to Patel's home early next day.Patel, of West Street, Batley, had encouraged the girl to perform a string of sordid sex acts on him.Jailing Patel indefinitely for the public protection, Judge Shaun Spencer, QC, told him: "You placed a profile of yourself on a website intending to attract the attention of girls of this age.
It's clear to me the profile was put there as a baited hook. It's clear you groomed this complainant."Judge Spencer said Patel will not be considered for parole for two-and-a-half years and will only be freed when he is no longer deemed a danger.Patel's name will be on the Sex Offenders' Register for life.The court heard Patel had been messaging the girl in the highfive chat room up to eight times a day for a number of weeks.He told police he had been chatting to six other underage girls on the same website.Mark McKone, for Patel, said the sexual acts were consensual, adding: "He has expressed considerable remorse.
"The girl's mother had bought her daughter a computer to help with homework and warned her about the potential dangers of using chat rooms and messaging services.Patel admitted abducting a child, causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and three charges of sexual activity with a child.
