(Liverpool) The 10 to 10 store in Liverpool has been closed down by the authorities after it was found that the owner was offering alcohol to little children as young as 12 in exchange for sex. Owner Ushan Wewawala cried after the closure order was imposed by the police, which his solicitor Gary Bryan has stated will “finish his business”.
Angela Bellingham, representing the police, told the court:
In his defence, Mr Wewawala and his illegal minion claimed they had no knowledge of any sexual exploitation and denied any wrongdoing and that the girls would come into the shop, and claimed they would demand alcohol or they would make “sexual allegations” against him. Which kind of ran flat after it was revealed that one of the young girls who made the sexual predator allegation was allowed to use the toilet soon after making it. The case continues.
