A MAN told a court two teenage girls burst into his flat and one spat at him after learning he was banned from contact with young people.
Mark Duckers, 47, denies breaching a Sexual Offence Prevention Order which forbids him from contact with children under 17.
He told Liverpool Crown Court he left his door ajar and the girls burst into the flat after reading about his case in a newspaper.
He said: “I was resting on a chair with my eyes closed. Then I heard a bang and giggling and laughing. My flat door was open and there were two girls there.
“I asked them what they were doing. I told them they were not supposed to be there. They said ‘You’re a paedophile, aren’t you? We saw it in the paper.’
“I asked them to leave and they wouldn’t leave.”
Cross-examined by prosecutor Charles Lander, he said he didn’t mention the spitting to police at the time because he had only just “got a hold on what happened”.
He told the jury he believed he was set up.
Duckers, of Rice Lane, Wallasey, denies breaching his order.
The case continues.
