'A monster climbing across the bed' - Girl, 14, raped by evil predator in her own bed after he went on date with mum

A schoolgirl was raped by a man who had earlier been out on a first date with her mum. The victim, 14, told how she woke to find 'like an actual monster climbing across the bed', a court was told.

Matthew Philbin - described by a judge as 'a predatory, violent and determined' rapist - hit the teenager and grabbed her hair during a struggle, then told her he would shoot her if she screamed, a prosecutor said.

Liverpool Crown Court heard the attack ended when the girl's mum ran into her daughter's bedroom - but Philbin told her she must have had a nightmare.

The court was told the girl was pleased her mum had found someone new in her life, but her happiness turned to horror just a few hours later.
