A LITTLE Sutton man has admitted being one of 10 men who sexually abused a girl.

Gary McIlroy, 50, of Wetherby Way, pleaded guilty to having sexual activity with her when she was 14.

Mold Crown Court heard McIlroy was involved in a sex act with the girl at the time she was having intercourse with a man in the back of a car.

The court was told that McIlroy, said to be married, was in a steady job and had no previous convictions. He was freed on bail pending sentence.

He and three other men appeared before Judge Merfyn Hughes QC on Thursday. His co-defendants were:

Frederick Lawlor, 52, formerly of Marine Road in Abergele, who admitted four specimen counts of sexual activity with a child, seven of taking indecent photographs and seven of causing a child to engage in sexual activity with another.

He was remanded in custody for a psychiatric report to assess his future risk.

Gary Owen, 55, who is married and lived in the same block of flats as Lawlor in Marine Road was the only one who paid for sex. He had previously been jailed for sex offences against a 12-year-old girl.

He was also remanded in custody.

Former police detective sergeant Raymond Ketland, 66, of Nant y Coed, Glan Conwy, admitted two charges of sexual activity with the girl which did not involve intercourse, taking indecent photographs of her, and facilitating a child sex offence.

The court heard this follows the discovery of Ketland abusing the girl on a video film seized by the police. He was bailed.

Judge Hughes said he would sentence the four men at Caernarfon Crown Court on April 6.

He has already sentenced the other six men, who admitted abusing the same schoolgirl, to a total of 17-and-a-half years in prison.

The court heard Lawlor touted the girl around beaches in North Wales when she was 13 and 14 to have sex with strangers.

He took her to Llanddulas and Pensarn Beaches which were well-known for 'dogging' - where people watch and take part in sex with strangers.

There he encouraged men to have sex with her on the beach, in the back of cars and also in a flat where he had rigged up a covert camera to film her being abused.

He advertised in a magazine and also had sex with the girl himself many times.

The girl, said to be under his complete control and manipulation, estimated over a 12-month period she had had sex with about 50 men at his behest.
