manchestereveningnews.co.ukA 'devious' rapist who befriended an underage girl in Piccadilly Gardens then 'lured' her back to his house has lost an appeal to reduce the length of his prison sentence.
In January, Girmay Andes, then 28, was jailed for eight years for rape and two separate charges of sexual assault. Manchester Crown Court heard Andes approached the victim, who was sitting with a friend and a group of males they'd met earlier, in Piccadilly Gardens at around 5am on July 14, 2022.
He asked her the time and claimed to have been robbed. He then asked if she wanted cigarettes and they walked off towards a shop.
When the victim's friend called her mobile, Andes took the phone off her, hung up, then refused to give it back.
