Liam Hughes was just 15 years old when he committed several rapes. His victims were of a similar age: three girls were 15 years old, and the fourth was 14. The detailed accounts of the teenagers are terrifying. When Hughes, who is now 18, found out he was found guilty, he "cried, shook, and vomited".

Liam Hughes committed crimes for a year and a half. He was just 15-16 years old at the time. British portals write about a "teenage beast".

According to the ''Daily Mail'', the youngest of the girls (14-years-old), Hughes harmed in October 2020. The assault took place in Zetland Park in Grangemouth. The girl admitted in court that the encounter in the park began consensually, but she later asked the boy to stop because there was a rock underneath her and she was in pain.

Hughes didn't listen. He told her, "it's supposed to hurt." — A month later, the same girl woke up at a party in Hallglen in Falkirk and realized that her underwear had been undressed. Hughes raped her while she was asleep, and then orally raped her — reported by the ''Daily Mail''.

A harmed teenager reported the matter to the police. Hughes was then arrested, but quickly regained his freedom. He was released on bail.

Nine months passed, and Hughes attacked again. This time he raped a 15-year-old girl. He didn't know his victim. The rape occurred in a forest near an elementary school in Grangemouth. The girl testified in court that she ''suffered greatly''. She also remembered that there was ''a lot of blood''.

The jury decided that he is guilty

Today, 18-year-old Liam Hughes explained in court that the teenagers "met and invented stories" about rape to harm him.

"I've never done anything like this before," Hughes insisted.

The jury, composed of eight men and seven women, did not believe these assurances. After nearly two days of deliberations, the young man was found guilty of raping three girls (one of them twice) and sexually assaulting a fourth.

Hughes took the verdict reading very badly. As described by British websites, he was ''sobbing, shaking, and vomiting''. The mother of the 18-year-old, present in the court, was also crying.

I have no intention of agreeing to bail. The charges are too serious — announced Judge Lord Young.

Hughes was registered as a sex offender. The sentence was heard in court in Glasgow on November 21st.
