The victim of a convicted paedophile who groomed and sexually assaulted her when she was a schoolgirl says she is 'living in absolute fear' ahead of his release from prison. Depraved Manchester bouncer, Shaun Torevell, was given a six-year jail sentence in 2019 after being convicted of plying the girl with booze and cigarettes before assaulting her in his car.
