A local surveillance camera captured a 25-year-old man from the Isles committing an assault. Following his apprehension by the police, he attested with apathy that he was incapable of causing harm.

"The Sun" divulged the intricate lies of the sex offender arrested in November last year. His testimonies were highlighted in the television program "24 Hours in a Police Cell", aired on Sunday evening, offering Channel 4 viewers insight into the offender's malevolent nature.

This offender, Loui Cadman, roamed the streets of the British town of Bedford. Municipal cameras captured him wandering the town during the evening, seemingly on a prowl.

It soon became evident that Cadman, with malicious intents, was searching for a prey. He targeted a woman who had lost contact with her friends and misplaced her mobile phone.

The woman was subsequently abused by the man. However, she managed to escape rapidly from the side street where the offender had accosted her, and sought help from the staff of a bar located across the street.

Upon receiving the distress call, the police quickly tracked down and apprehended the offender. Despite the incriminating evidence against him, he deceitfully denied guilt, claiming, "I cry when I step on an ant. I could not hurt someone like that."

British perpetrator's staged innocence

The guilt of Cadman was not only confirmed by city surveillance recordings but also the content found on his mobile phone. His phone stored numerous videos, including voyeuristic takes of young women unaware of being filmed and intimate footage of an unsuspecting couple.

In August, a Leeds court sentenced Cadman to over nine years in prison for charges of rape, voyeurism, possession of indecent photos, and marijuana possession.

The presiding judge labelled the man as a "threat to women" and his actions as "predatory" and "calculating". Inspector Michelle Lack, a commentator on the "24 Hours in a Police Cell" program, reiterated that the episode aims to raise awareness about potential dangers faced by women and to disseminate information about police approaches.

She emphasized how officers work collaboratively with victims providing comprehensive assistance. She encouraged victims of sexual attacks to report even the slightest incidents, stating, "Some behaviors can sometimes escalate to serious crimes. They can sometimes be pre-empted," the inspector added.
