April 2016 Sex beast who repeatedly raped toddler only caught after victim was diagnosed with an STD A twisted paedophile who repeatedly raped a three-year-old girl was only caught after her mother realised she had caught a sexually transmitted disease. Depraved Ryan Henderson left the child, who still wore a nappy, suffering from internal injuries after the brutal assaults. A court heard the little girl was so young she struggled to put into words what happened to her and had to point to a doll to explain her ordeal. Henderson, from Cramlington, Northumberland, also repeatedly raped a woman Now the 28-year-old has been branded a danger as he was put behind bars at Newcastle Crown Court. As he was sentenced, the girl’s mother said in a statement to the court: “I feel utterly sick knowing what he has done to my daughter. “To even think this has been going on is sickening. I don’t know how my life will move on from this.” The girl’s mother noticed something was wrong and took the little girl to see her GP and then to the hospital, where injuries were discovered. The girl was later “screaming with stomach pain”, the court heard. But it wasn’t for a further five months that the truth began to unfold. She was sent home from nursery with stomach pains and a medical examination showed she had chlamydia and an injury to her private parts. The girl was spoken to and indicated what had been happening, with the help of a doll. The court heard that Henderson also repeatedly raped a woman. Anne Richardson, prosecuting, said: “He also tried to rape her when her (baby) was in the bed at the time.” The court heard Henderson also raped and tried to rape the woman while she was asleep, including on her birthday. He pleaded guilty to four offences of rape against the woman and two charges of rape of the girl, which were specimen counts. Referring to the child, Judge Penny Moreland said: “You caused her severe physical harm, you caused her to suffer from that infection and there will inevitably be psychological harm caused to her as a result of what you did. “She was extremely young at the time you raped her. “You are a dangerous offender and you pose a significant risk of serious harm to members of the public.” Henderson was sentenced to 18 years and given an extended licence period until 2042. He was also ordered to sign the sex offenders register for life and was made subject to a sexual harm prevention order and was barred from working with children or vulnerable adults.
