Horror as teenage girls told to use paedo, 26, as footrest so he can smell their shoes

Samuel Creed was given a five-year extended sentence after admitting offences involving two teenage girls, breaching a court order and burglary. The case matters because he repeatedly offended despite restrictions intended to protect the public, including a ban on engaging with charities without police approval.

Police said Creed had asked the girls for images of their feet and met them in a public place, where he encouraged them to use him as a footrest and smelled their shoes. He was also convicted of contacting a children’s hospice with an offer of fundraising services that included sexual activity; the court sentenced him to two years in prison followed by three years on licence. He must pay £228 compensation for the burglary, and remains subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
