'We are not safe when he walks the streets'

A CONVICTED killer is back behind bars after raping a woman and a teenager.

Paul Creedy, 31, targeted his victims when they were alone, before getting them back to a flat pretending he wanted to help them.

He encouraged the teenager to join him for food, before plying her with cannabis and alcohol. Creedy raped her, subjecting her to a twohour ordeal. He took her phone so she couldn’t call for help, Manchester Crown Court heard.

Months later, he met a woman who had been on a night out with friends.

She was upset following a row. Creedy lied to the woman, claiming he knew her partner and would help find him.

Judge Suzanne Goddard KC said CCTV footage showed the woman ‘trying to distance herself from him and ward him off’ as they walked down the street.

Back at a flat, the woman sobbed as Creedy tried to assault her. He then went to the kitchen and grabbed a knife, before holding it to her throat, threatening to kill her if she didn’t stop crying.

“That must have been absolutely terrifying for her,” the judge said. Creedy raped the woman over the course of two hours before making her shower while he ‘supervised’ so she could ‘wash off his DNA from her body’. Creedy was jailed for manslaughter in 2013 after he and four others attempted to rob Simon Brass, 40, before pushing him into a canal in Manchester in June 2012.
