The mother of the
12-year-old told the
Daily Mail: "He was
sending my daughter
messages offering to
pick her up from school,
and suggesting the most
disgusting sex acts. It
went on for two months
before I found out."
Ridout
left Portugal before
Maddie's disappearance
on May 3 but his parents
still run the same pub
and his name was given
to police by concerned
locals - although he has
never been traced.
"I asked her if she'd
been getting any
messages from Christian
' and she had, about 25
of them. They got
progressively more
obscene. They were
talking about her being
a virgin, telling her
he'd done 'it' before
and that he'd be gentle
and it wouldn't hurt,"
the mother added.
"He was suggesting he
should pick her up from
school. The messages
were absolutely vile."
"My youngest girl is
quiet ' and police said
that it was a clear case
of grooming. It was very
sick. I couldn't even
read the final ones, but
just phoned Christian. I
said, 'If you come
anywhere near my
daughters again I'll
kill you.'"
The mother had been
working at his parent's
pub called the Plough
and Harrow - which has
been nicknamed The
Plough and Paedophile by
locals.
"He took all the money
from the till at the
Plough and Harrow and
went to Spain that
night," she said.
"They later found his VW
Golf at Seville airport,
with his keys left
hidden in the wheel arch
and he was believed to
have gone back to
England."
