Ellis Dismore, 24, was sentenced for stalking and stabbing a teenage girl he met online
Dismore stalked a 15-year-old girl he met online, pretending to be a teenage boy. He pressured her for indecent photos and then viciously attacked her on the street. Thankfully, a passing motorist intervened, saving her life.
The court heard that Dismore had a long history of grooming young girls online, inciting them to send him explicit images. He was manipulative and threatening, making his victims feel trapped and scared.
During the trial, the girl bravely shared how Dismore had ruined her teenage years. She felt like a prisoner in her own life, constantly living in fear.
The judge described Dismore as dangerous and insidious, noting that he had targeted multiple girls. He received a 38-year prison sentence, along with a sexual harm prevention order to keep him away from his victims.
This case serves as a stark reminder of the dangers that can lurk online and the importance of staying vigilant. It’s a relief to know that justice has been served, but the scars of such trauma can last a lifetime.
