POLICE have released a picture of a rapist who has been jailed for nine years after targeting schoolgirls in the 2000s.

Paul Fox, 43, waited outside school gates and swimming baths, and followed his victims on their paper rounds before carrying out violent sex attacks. Fox, of Broughton Park, Broughton-in-Furness, was convicted of sexual activity with a child and rape against his first victim and two counts of sexual assault, rape and sexual activity with a child against the other victim. The judge said he must serve two thirds before being eligible for release on licence.
