In 2017, Michael Manion, (then aged 22), unemployed, of Nutley Place, Hove, was convicted of three counts of raping a nine-year old girl

He was also convicted of the rape of a 16-year old girl

Manion received 54 months for each count of the offences against the nine-year old, to run concurrently with a separate sentence of 30 months for the offence against the adult.

So after serving just half of his sentence, he will be released.

The pervert denied the offences which forced the victims to give evidence in court against him. Thankfully the jury saw through his lies and found him guilty.

Manion poses a serious risk to all girls and will continue to do so. He has shown absolutely no remorse for his actions.
