'Don't tell no one... don't call the police', rapist hissed after she begged 'please don't kill me'

A rapist committed a ‘horrific’ violent sexual attack on a child while on bail for another allegation of rape. Kofi Taylor has now been jailed for life after leaving his victim ‘in terror’.

Taylor, from Salford, let himself into the girl’s home before she was woken up and repeatedly raped, Manchester Crown Court heard. He punched her several times during the ordeal, which lasted for up to 90 minutes.

Taylor gained access to the property ‘uninvited’ before launching the attack. The girl, who was under 16, screamed out as Taylor raped her on multiple occasions, and repeatedly punched her to the face causing her to bleed. “Please don’t kill me,” she begged him at one stage.

“You don’t tell no-one, don’t call the police,” Taylor told her. The court heard that his victim’s mental and physical health has ‘deteriorated’ following her ordeal.

Taylor has 27 offences on his record, including the rape of
