A horrifying incident unfolded at Center Parcs in Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire, as Caden Crossley, 29, carried out a ‘cruel and cynical’ sex attack on an underage girl. Nottingham Crown Court heard how the teenager’s family had generously let Crossley stay in their lodge after he was ousted from his cabin following a dispute with his partner.
Crossley, who had previously established a rapport with the family, was allowed into their holiday accommodation without a second thought. In a grievous betrayal of trust, the young victim awoke in her bedroom to find Crossley lying in her bed. He proceeded to touch and rape her sexually, leaving her traumatised and violated.
