'I will never forget the night he took me': Man who abducted and raped girl, 14, he groomed on Xbox arrested in Stockport

A man has been jailed for abducting and raping a teenage girl he groomed through an Xbox console.
Shaun Davies, 28, who was arrested in Stockport, was locked up for seven-and-a-half years after he admitted charges of rape and child abduction.
A court heard how a relationship between them began through conversations on Xbox when Davies was 26 and the victim was 14.

Gloucester Crown Court heard on Tuesday Davies soon turned the conversation sexual, telling the girl how she should lose her virginity.
Davies, of Brockworth near Gloucester, alienated and groomed her by telling her that he loved her and that no-one else did, and encouraged her to run away with him, the court heard. Then, in July 2021, he drove to the victim's home and took her away without her parent's consent, a judge was told.
Whilst being driven away the girl was receiving phone calls from her concerned father saying that he would contact police, and Davies ignored them. He later disposed of the phone, the court heard.
Davies drove north and found isolated spots where the court was told sexual acts took place. He went on to rape her in the car. The court was told that the teen made it clear that she was not consenting.
But prosecutor, Ian Fenny, said that Davies ignored her and raped her. He then told her to tell no-one else about what had happened.
Police were informed the child was missing and a marker was put on Davies' car in a bid to locate them. The vehicle was then stopped by officers from Greater Manchester Police in Stockport and Davies was arrested. The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was taken home.
