A PREDATOR abducted and raped a 14-year-old girl at knifepoint on her walk to school after he lay in wait at a beauty spot.
Oliver Smith, 21, pounced on the lone teenager in her school uniform and pulled a box-cutter blade on her as she walked through a nature area.

In the 45 minute ordeal, the porn addict subjected her to ‘gratuitous threats of violence’ and forced her to a secluded woodland spot and raped her up against a tree.
When the ‘scared’ and ‘sobbing’ schoolgirl tried to flee, Smith chased after her and grabbed hold of her mouth to cover her screams, threatening he would stab her in the throat.
A court heard he meticulously planned the attack by scoping out the woods, wearing gloves, washing his victim in a river afterwards, and had a ‘deeply disturbing’ manifesto.
Nine months before the attack Smith was convicted of voyeurism and having child abuse images – but escaped jail.
After the horrific rape he fled to 600 miles away to Scotland but couldn’t go any further as he didn’t have his passport.
Today, at Portsmouth Crown Court, Hants, Smith – who the court heard uses they/them pronouns and suffers from ‘gender issues’ – was jailed for 12 years as the schoolgirl’s parents watched on.
The court heard he raped the girl at woodland by Bordon Inclosure in Bordon, Hants, on the morning September 27 last year.
Home-educated Smith, who lived with his grandmother in the town, was seen leaving home early in the morning but not in his work clothes.
