Morris was arrested on suspicion of possessing and distributing indecent images of children and released on conditional bail.

The very next day, police received alarming tips that Morris and his partner Julie had committed sexual offences against a child and were planning a quick getaway. Merseyside Police raced to an address in Hindley where the couple was caught with £10,000 cash and their campervan loaded — ready to vanish.

On December 22, Morris was sentenced to 16 years behind bars, plus four extra years on extended licence. He was slapped with an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order and must sign the sex offenders register for life.
“He pleaded guilty to a shocking list of crimes, including seven counts of rape of a child under 13, sexual activity with a child, taking indecent photos, possessing prohibited and extreme pornographic images, voyeurism and more,” police confirmed.
Justice has been served, but the impact on the victims will last a lifetime.
