Rapist had sex with schoolgirl 14 times - but walks free from court
Bradley Williams begged girl not to tell about sexual encounters
Stoke-on-Trent crown court.
Rapist Bradley Williams had sex with a schoolgirl 14 times, but avoided jail.
The 18-year-old told the girl not to tell anyone about their sexual encounters, but his offending eventually came to light and he was arrested.
But he walked out of Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court after being handed a two-year youth rehabilitation order - which includes supervision and a curfew - and a 12-month community order.

Williams, of Fenton, Staffordshire, admitted raping a child under the age of 13 and inciting a child to engage in sexual activity. He also admitted taking a vehicle without consent and driving without a licence.
Prosecutor Nicholas Tatlow told the court: "Bradley told the girl not to tell her father what had happened."
The motoring offence related to when Williams crashed a stolen motorbike in Burslem, StokeonTrentLive reported.
Mr Tatlow added: "He tried to overtake a van while riding the motorcycle with a female passenger and had no licence or insurance. After the crash they ran off to A&E."
Becky Dulson, representing Williams, told the court that her client had endured a troubled upbringing since a very early age.
She said: "It is clear we're dealing with a young man who has difficulties. It is clear concerns were raised about him from an early age."
Recorder Michelle Heeley made Williams the subject of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order. He will also be on the Sex Offenders' Register for the next five years.
She told Williams: "You raped a girl under the age of 13 and took a bike that was not yours, crashing it and causing injury.
"The girl could not consent to have sexual intercourse but you did on 14 occasions. You were told to stop but did not.
"You have spent your life moving from home to home."
