A 22-year-old man has avoided jail after having sex with a 14-year-old girl and drinking her blood in a church stairwell in a twisted vampire role-playing game he learnt online.
Jonathan Ryan Davis was last week sentenced to 10 years' probation after pleading guilty to the disturbing December 2014 sex attack in the US city of Pittsburgh.
Police said Davis made his victim and two other young girls drink each other's blood in a game called Mabinogi he found online, WPXI reported.
He told police that after licking the blood, he called each girl his "bio-child" and said he would be their "dad" in the "cult-like" group he orchestrated.
"I'm sorry for everything, all the pain and suffering I had everyone go through in this case," Davis told Judge Richard McCormick Jr, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
