A 12-year-old British girl was found sobbing in a French airport after a Belgian man abducted her from a holiday villa and tried to take her on a flight to Madrid.
The girl from Glasgow had been staying with her family in a villa in Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer in the South of France when she was lured away by a 41-year-old man she had met on the internet.
The man had made contact with the girl online four months earlier, when he claimed to be 28. On Friday he abducted her from her family’s holiday villa and took her to Marseilles Provence airport to board a flight to Spain.
When he arrived at the airport, he discovered that the girl had no travel documents with her, and abandoned her in the terminal. He went to board a aircraft bound for Madrid.
The girl, who has not been named for legal reasons, was found sobbing and alone in the airport and told police that a man had been trying to take her to Spain. Police from Marseilles boarded the plane and arrested the man minutes before the flight was due to take off.

Just out of curiosity, what difference would it make whether he was 41 or 28? Damn….
