A paedophile who sexually attacked four adolescent girls was imprisoned for fourteen and a half years.
65-year-old Antonino Seminara’s campaign of terror took place in Padiham and Blackburn.
Just 14 was Seminara’s youngest victim’s age when she was offended by him.
As he sexually attacked two of his victims, Seminara told them they “liked that.”
He also assured one victim that he had “done this before with somebody your age.”
Antonino Seminara vowed to murder the same victim should she disclose what had happened to anyone.
After his crime was discovered, Seminara of Whittaker Close, Burnley, was detained and denied any guilt in police interviews.
After conferring with the Crown Prosecution Service, Seminara was charged with several crimes of sexual activity with a child and sexual assault.
Following a trial at Preston Crown Court earlier this year, he was judged guilty of eleven charges involving four victims.
Seminara was taken into custody today for sentence at the same court. Seminara was directed to sign the Sex Offender’s Register for life in addition to receiving the jail term.
