April 2017 Pervert jailed for pestering under-age Connah’s Quay girl for sex A man used a false Facebook profile to pester an under-aged girl for sex. Isaac Lowther, 24, lured the teenager who is from Connah’s Quay to his Transit van where he offered her cannabis and asked her for sex, Mold Crown Court heard. Lowther, of Little Lane Caravan Park at Goose Green in Wigan pleaded guilty to inciting the girl to take part in sexual activity. Judge Niclas Parry jailed him for 28 months and ordered him to register as a sex offender for 10 years. He was also made the subject of a 10 year sexual harm prevention order. Charges of people trafficking, which he denied, were allowed to remain on the file. Judge Parry lifted a Contempt of Court Act order preventing the public reporting of Lowther’s case as he was arrested as part of the same police operation which saw 13 men charged with the rape of another teenage girl from Deeside. The case against these men collapsed and all of them were found not guilty. The court heard that on March 27, 2015 Lowther, then aged 22, persuaded the girl to get into his Transit van by threatening to park outside her home and refusing to leave. He parked in an isolated spot in Dock Road, Connah’s Quay and although the girl got in the van no sex took place as he was disturbed by an undercover police officer. Lowther drove off with the girl still in the van before police followed an arrested him. Jailing Lowther, Judge Parry told him his behaviour amounted to nothing less than grooming and he had attempted to use drugs to facilitate the offence. The judge told him: “You used that profile to pester her to leave her home and join you. You had previously asked one of your friends to ask if she would have sex with you. Throughout, you knew her age.”
