A warrant has been granted for a Manchester man who filmed a vulnerable underage girl carrying out a sex act on him.
Adam Godfrey, 19, threatened to throw the teenager from a window after they met in an abandoned building in Aberdeen for sex.
Godfrey then video-recorded the 15-year-old carrying out the intimate act on his phone.
When she protested being filmed, Godfrey struck her in the face and threatened to throw her out of a window of the derelict property.
Godfrey, who didn’t appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court to face sentence today, now has a warrant issued for this arrest unless he appears at the later date.
He pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to one charge of having sexual intercourse with a child under the age of 16 and video recording the incident.
Godfrey also admitted assaulting the girl by hitting her across the face, seizing her by the neck and threatening to throw her from a building.
Put his hands around her throat
The offences were said to have taken place between June 1 and August 31 2020.
Godfrey, then 17, managed to convince the girl to meet him at an abandoned house on South Deeside Road, Aberdeen, where she carried out a sex act on him.
When the girl expressed alarm that Godfrey was video-recording her on his phone, he slapped her across the face.
While the pair were still in the abandoned building Godfrey then put his hands around the girl’s throat and threatened to throw her from the window.
Godfrey was due to be sentenced today but did not appear in court.
‘He needs to face up to it’
Defence agent Stephanie Milligan told the court that Godfrey has been attending hospital due to having “really bad asthma”.
“He has breathing difficulties and this is why he has been in hospital,” she said.
However, Sherif Morag McLaughlin issued a warrant for Godfrey to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court to face justice.
She told Ms Milligan: “He’s extremely young and that’s a matter of concern.
“He needs to face up to it because it is not going to go away.
“I need to have him here.”
Godfrey, of Stevens Road, Straley Bridge, Manchester, now must appear in court in two weeks’ time or a full arrest warrant will be granted.
