Paedophile Birmingham taxi driver raped young girls after offering them gifts and pocket moneyhttps://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/m ... d-32837079Cabbie Peter King used to ferry young girls around - but them lured and groomed them before having sex with them at his Highgate flatA sick paedophile rapist from Birmingham has been jailed for a sting of sex offences involving girls as young as six.
Taxi driver, Peter King, who had a flat in Highgate, Birmingham, lured and groomed three girls between the ages of six and 15 during the 1990s and early 2000s.
He would take the girls on swimming trips, buying them clothing and food and then taking them back to his flat.
King, now 72, used his black cab to ferry around the girls and sometimes their friends as well.
He would give them pocket money and gifts and take then on day trips and holidays.
One girl he abused, who was 15 at the time, became pregnant by King before having a termination.
She bravely revealed this information years later to help West Midlands Police ’s Public Protection Unit (PPU) prosecute him for his ‘appalling’ actions.
Following the trial, which concluded at Birmingham Crown Court on Friday, October 31, King, of Malin Close, Southampton, was convicted of 15 sex offences, including multiple incidents if rape and indecent assault.
He was remanded into custody ahead of sentencing on Monday, January 12.
Detective Investigating Officer Liz Weston, from the PPU, said: “This has been a long and complex investigation into the abuse of young girls who were groomed by King.
"He preyed upon them when they were at their most vulnerable.
"He took advantage of their own personal circumstances and gave them pocket money, bought them gifts, clothing and food and took them on day trips and holidays.
"He tried to portray that he was a good man who cared for them, but the jury saw through those lies.”
DI Weston continued: "I’m pleased that the women he abused as children all those years ago have finally received the justice they so deserve.
"I commend their bravery in being able to speak out and share their stories and
"I would ask anyone who has encountered similar experiences, or any kind of abuse, historically or recently, to speak to the police.
"We are here to create a safe space for you and we will listen.”
