A MAN with severe learning disabilities tried to abduct a little girl at a seaside resort, a jury has ruled.
Jason Fallows grabbed the girl and tried to drag her into his caravan at the Barcourt Estate caravan park in Hornsea.
She escaped after hitting him with her scooter.
Fallows, 22, suffers from learning disabilities, autism and adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and was ruled unfit to stand trial.
A jury today decided he did not intend to rape the girl. However, they said he did attempt to kidnap her.
After trying to snatch the girl on April 1, the court heard he told his foster carer and her sister that he did it to have sex with her. Fallows will be sentenced at a later date.
In a video interview shown to the court, the girl said Fallows grabbed her as she was playing at Barcourt Estate Caravan Park, in Cliff Road.
She said she clung on to railings around the caravan in a desperate bid to escape.
Seen sitting next to a teddy bear, the girl said: "He ran up to me and grabbed me and was saying, 'come into my caravan'.
"He was grabbing me and pulling me into his caravan and saying some other things, but I couldn't tell what he was saying.
"I grabbed on to a fence to get out of it, but I had to get my scooter and whack him with it. He got off me and went back into his caravan.
"It was scary."
The girl said she then ran back to her grandmother's caravan, where she was staying.
Fallows later told his foster carer Jean Lancaster he wanted to drag the girl into the caravan to have sex with her, said prosecutor Mark Kendall.
In a statement read to the court, Miss Lancaster said: "He said he wanted to pull her into the caravan to have sex with her. I asked him if he knew what sex was and he said he would take all his clothes off and all her clothes off.
"At that point, I called social services and said I thought the police should be called and they agreed."
Fallows will be sentenced at a later date.
