Paedophile’s sick texts to his own granddaughter he abused from the age of 13
Paedo Joseph Edwards has been jailed for 15 months for sexually abusing his granddaughter when she was a teenager
A WOMAN has bravely revealed the sick text messages sent by her grandad as he abused her from the age of 13.
Joseph Edwards, 69, told her "I can't stop it, I love you so" in a string of vile messages to the confused youngster.
The woman, now an adult with two kids, was just 13 when her grandad started fondling her with small touches on her bum.
Later he took her on trips to the seaside and molested her.
In a string of messages, Edwards said: "I love you so much, you make my heart skip a beat.
"You just do it for me okay. I want you in all ways is that okay?
"When I was 15 he started kissing me. I can still remember feeling his tongue, it was awful.
"He then started trying to put his hand between my legs and touching me there."
Edwards would carry out most of the abuse in his car when he took her out for day trips to Southport in Merseyside.
"We'd always go up to Southport in his car and he'd get me a can of Dr Pepper and a pizza.
"Our trips were always a secret, I could never tell my nan or any other family members where I was going and it was always in Southport and in his car where most of the abuse took place."
Edwards also has to sign the sex offenders’ register for ten years and Judge Neil Flewitt imposed a five-year restraining order to keep away from the victim.
