ANOTHER young girl's life has been blighted by a sex mad monster who thinks it is his right to defile a woman's body.

I can think of nothing worse than being raped and left to suffer by some tattooed beast who deserves nothing less than being banged up for life.

In the early hours of Sunday a 19-years-old teenager left Barbarella's nightclub in Leigh town centre with a man she had befriended, never dreaming what was to happen just minutes later.

The despicable coward attacked the defenceless girl after dragging her into an alleyway in Union Street where he raped then beat her leaving her stranded and distressed with awful facial injuries and a broken jaw.

She was discovered by a passer-by and taken to hospital for treatment.

In time her injuries will heal, the mental scars will last an awful lot longer.

Until this evil attacker is found and dealt with no woman is safe alone on the streets late at night.

If anyone knows a man with a distinctive tattoo on his shoulder and one of a woman half smiling half frowning on his stomach they should turn him in to the police. They should be absolute giveaways.

You'd think someone with such striking markings should have enough brains to realise he's not likely to get away with his contemptible act. At least I trust not.
