A woman abused by an ageing Leeds paedophile when she was younger has said she continues to be haunted daily by his twisted actions 15 years later.
The female, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was targeted and groomed by Denis Coe for more than a year and he would abuse her every chance he had. Coe, who is now 74, was jailed for seven years at Leeds Crown Court this week after being convicted of the abuse following a trial. In a victim impact statement, the woman said: “I feel like the abuse has cheated me out of something precious. It always plays a role in my present and I can’t be free of my memories.
Coe, of Winrose Hill, Belle Isle, denied all offences was found guilty of five counts of causing or inciting a child under the age of 13 to engage in sexual activity, three counts of sexual assault and one of paying for the sexual services of a child. The court heard that the young girl was forced to touch his penis repeatedly, asked to perform oral sex on him and he asked her to take photos of her genitals. He also “took steps” to prevent her from reporting his vile abuse.
