Luke McHugh, who has previous convictions, was found in the bedroom of two young girls by their father.
A dangerous sex offender who climbed into the bedroom of two young girls with the intention of attacking them has been jailed.
The Crown Prosecution Service said McHugh had been living in specialist accommodation and was allowed to go for a daily walk with a support worker, but had broken out of his room through a secure window on the night of the break-in.A spokeswoman said McHugh, who was caught on CCTV around the house on the nights before the attack, broke into the property at about 03:00 BST, but was disturbed after the children's father heard a noise and went to investigate.
In a victim impact statement, the girls' mother said she felt "torment... knowing he was moments away from forever changing their little lives, purely for his perverse and abhorrent sexual gratification".
