Pervert dad jailed after he was caught having sex with girl who had his baby

Kirk Wilding, from Wigan, groomed his victim and treated her as his secret girlfriend - after he had earlier taken her mother on a series of dates. He left the girl feeling 'isolated and trapped' during a six-month period before she fell pregnant with his child.

Bolton Crown Court heard how the dad-of-two ignored a police child abduction notice warning him to keep away from the girl and instead repeatedly met up with her, falsely claiming their friendship was platonic.

He was arrested and his sick crimes were revealed after he was caught having sex with the girl in a bedroom at a house party.

Detectives also found hundreds of text messages between him and the girl - which showed she believed she was in a 'close relationship' with Wilding. One exchange read 'Love u darling xxx, while the victim replied 'It's u and I, don't want anyl else.'

The victim who cannot be named for legal reasons - initially refused to make a complaint against Wilding but made a statement to police last May.
