43 years for sexual predator who tried to murder victim, 15

Ellis Dismore, 24, had sent threatening and disturbing voice messages to members of his 15-year-old victim's family before he repeatedly stabbed her, police said.

The daylight knife attack in Middlesbrough in June 2023 was captured on a motorist's dashcam. The teenager was saved when members of the public stepped in to help.

Dismore, from the town, was jailed at Teesside Crown Court for attempted murder and more than 20 other offences against young girls.

He had groomed the teenager online and then sent her relatives a series of chilling messages when the police were told about what was happening.

Threatened

He attacked the girl after she got off a school bus and repeatedly stabbed her but stopped when a driver intervened.
