Post by GavinMAN USED DAUGHTERS 'AS BAIT'
A Bridlington paedophile used his two
daughters "as bait" to abuse a string
of young girls, Hull Crown Court heard.
Glyn Martin, 53, of Bessingby Gate,
used his girls to lure their friends
back to his home where he drugged,
photographed and assaulted them.
Martin, who became legal guardian of
the two girls in 1991, admitted charges
including 57 of indecent assault.
It is also alledged he may of murdered a young girl too.
Seafront face-painter Glyn David Martin is every parent's worst nightmare.
For at least two decades he targeted thousands of vulnerable young girls,
aged between two and 11, abducting, drugging and abusing them.
The Bridlington paedophile admitted 57 offences against young girls at Hull
Crown Court. The charges - including abduction, taking indecent photographs
of children, administering drugs and indecent assault - date back to 1987,
but police believe his depraved crimes began much earlier.
It is feared Martin, 53, of Bessingby Gate, Bridlington, may even have
murdered a child.
When police raided a lock-up Martin used in Bridlington, they found almost
6,000 indecent photographs of young girls, involving 2,000 victims.
Today, Detective Chief Inspector Kevin Scarth, who led the investigation,
said Martin was "one of the worst paedophiles the force has ever dealt
with".
He said: "The total focus in his life is pre-pubescent girls and there's a
real desire to kill a young girl, if he's not already done so.
"Our worst fear is he has killed a child. His main idea was to get a child
off the street and keep them alive for a few days, torture them and then
kill them.
"He's very cunning and very devious. He's a bad, evil man who's done
everything he can to get access to kids, photograph them and think about
killing them."
Martin wrote down plans covering how he would abduct and murder a child,
then dispose of the body. He had a collection of hunting knives and
crossbows and had drawn pictures of them, which were hidden in cuddly toys.
He was obsessed with child killers and police discovered almost 200
newspapers at his home spanning 20 years of major cases, such as the murder
on Merseyside of two-year-old Jamie Bulger in 1993.
Martin also took pictures of youngsters playing on Bridlington beach with a
hidden camera and abused youngsters who came to his face-painting booth on
the seafront.
Over the years he took thousands of pictures of youngsters at his booth and
wrote obscene messages on them.
He even abducted, drugged and abused his foster daughters' friends.
Police also believe Martin has a secret lock-up somewhere along the
Bridlington to Hull train line, where he has hidden computer equipment,
cameras and more photographs.
Prosecutor Michael Harrison QC had just opened the case against Martin
yesterday when he broke down and admitted his crimes, having earlier pleaded
not guilty.
Mr Harrison said: "For years he targeted girls, principally between the age
of five and 11.
"In his own handwriting, he spoke of taking girls off the street or from a
park.
"He targeted children who were friends of his own children, using them to
lure victims to his house with the permission of their parents. Some of the
photographs he took show him holding a knife to a child's throat during the
night when they were stupefied by drugs."
One victim, who was abused by Martin, said: "I am so relieved he has
admitted what he did to me. He ruined my life."
Martin is expected to be sentenced by Judge Michael Mettyear later this
week.
