A DANGEROUS sexual predator wasn't monitored properly by Greater Manchester Police because of its now discredited computer system and because of high caseloads in its sex offender management unit, according to a serious case review.
Kofi Taylor, from Salford, went on to commit a 'horrific' rape of a child while he was on bail over another allegation of rape. The 48-year-old was jailed for life in March.
Taylor let himself into the girl's home in Trafford while she slept and repeatedly raped her, Manchester Crown Court heard. He punched her several times during the ordeal, which lasted for up to 90 minutes.
Crack cocaine addict Taylor, who was previously jailed for a decade for raping a man in the 1990s, was on bail at the time for a separate allegation of rape, of which he was ultimately cleared. A judge jailed Taylor for life after ruling he will 'always' pose a risk of danger.
