Matthew Lawton sexually exploited two young girls
A child rapist was previously locked up for attacking a brave dad and blinding him in one eye.
Twisted pervert Matthew Lawton groomed two teenage girls over Snapchat with offers of cigarettes, alcohol and cannabis.
The 29-year-old lied that he was 19 to trick the children, aged 13 and 14, into meeting him for sex and filmed the older girl.
When she tried to stop seeing Lawton, he used the video to blackmail her into meeting him again and raped her on multiple occasions.
