## Resource

A convicted murderer with a prior record has pleaded guilty to a harrowing eight-hour kidnapping and sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl, forcing her to drink alcohol, tying her up with a necktie, and assaulting her across multiple locations—including near an airport—before she was found safe in a hotel car park. Sharpe, 56, from Stockport, admitted to six serious charges, including sexual assault and administering a noxious substance, claiming he intended to release her before taking his own life. Sentencing is set for September 2026.
