themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-19--'The Radcliffe sex beast got in my son's bedroom -police fobbed me off'

She and her family were safe , asleep in their beds , or so she thought .
But at 3.30am on April 5th last year night prowler Jason Bursk - who had already sexually assaulted a little girl and an elderly woman - stepped into their home .
His intention was to commit another sex attack and he went straight upstairs to find a victim .
Bursk , a former Israeli Defence Force soldier who ran a taxi business with his wife , was pursuing his regular routine .
He had been out for a night with friends , drinking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trying to find a child in bed .
After a getting a taxi back from Manchester to Radcliffe , he began trying front and back doors of homes near where he lived - until he found one that was open .
What happened next mirrored a scene out of a horror movie .
The woman whose house he broke into said : `` I was at home with my children .
`` It was 3.30am and we were all in bed .
I heard an alert on the bell on my front door @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thought it must have been the kids , they are forever forgetting to shut the door properly and I thought the weather might have blown it open .
`` I have a bed downstairs and got up and locked the door .
I actually locked Bursk in the house .
`` I heard footsteps running down the stairs and thought it was my son and shouted his name .
`` Then our two dogs started barking .
But the tone of their barks changed , it was really ferocious .
I knew then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I ran into my bedroom to put some clothes on and the dogs came to me to protect me .
By the time I came out again Bursk had gone . ''
The 45-year-old mum , two of whose children are school-aged , added : `` I went up and checked on the landing and my son 's bedroom door was open - it never is , he always shuts it .
I got all the children up to check they were okay .
At that point I did n't know where Bursk @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back garden or still hanging around . ''
She alerted police at once , but was stunned by their response .
`` They said they thought it was a drunk who had wandered into the wrong house , '' she said .
`` Later on that morning I saw a Police Community Support Officer in the street and I was screaming at them there was no way he was just a drunk .
`` I emailed a picture of him from CCTV to police that day .
I even zoomed in on his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see it clearly .
`` On the video you see him unlock the door to get out and he is wearing a very distinctive jacket .
The police never asked for the video .
`` The police just put the image on their data base and no officer came to see me .
I was so angry , why would someone dressed like that get in to a house and go straight upstairs ?
He was n't in the house to commit burglary . ''
After she posted the clip of Bursk in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that on the same night he had tried to get into a house in a nearby street but was chased off by the owner .
He had also tried the doors of two further houses close by on different nights .
Earlier this week , Jason Bursk was finally brought to justice , jailed for 15 years for offences including three sex attacks .
At the time he gained entry to the mother 's home he had already committed a cluster of offences in properties within metres of each other .
In November @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a pensioner in Radcliffe and sexually assaulted her .
In February 2019 he tried to get into a house in Radcliffe .
And then , after escaping arrest following the April 5 trespass , his offending escalated horrifically .
The sequence of events has left the mum whose children had a lucky escape asking if Bursk could have been stopped if police had n't dismissed him as a drunk who wandered into the wrong house .
It was seven months after the incident at her home that the mum heard chilling news from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of November 15th Bursk had entered another house just a few streets away from hers and sexually assaulted and attempted to rape a child aged under 13 , subjecting her to a 30 minute ordeal as she lay in her bed .
`` I got phone calls saying 'have your heard what has happened ? '
I went straight up to the house where the little girl had been attacked .
`` There was a policewoman outside the child 's house .
I spoke to her and said ' I know - the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' .
`` This time I got a phone call from the police the next day and they came and took a statement . ''
The woman called the Manchester Evening News in November after GMP issued a CCTV image of Bursk to say she believed the same man had been in her house .
But she says she was later told by police not to speak to the press .
`` I wanted a full apology from the police from the way I was treated , but I never got one , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have felt untouchable after a series of escapes .
As far back as January 2012 , he sexually assaulted a child under 13 in Radcliffe .
At the time he was arrested but not charged after GMP decided not to proceed with the case after assessing the evidence themselves .
The case was not referred to the Crown Prosecution Service .
Then , in July 2019 , he was caught red-handed to get into a house in Greendale Drive , Radcliffe .
The occupier chased Bursk , filming him on his phone - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ home .
That incident was reported to police but a decision was made not to pursue it .
That decision was later criticised in a GMP internal review , which said the matter should have been investigated as an attempted burglary .
The mum said : `` If they had taken me more seriously the police might have made the link to the elderly lady .
If they had fingerprints or forensic evidence from that scene they could have compared it to any in our house .
`` It might also have stopped @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2019 .
`` To be fair the police have done a brilliant job since , but I do believe they could have stopped him sooner .
When he got into our house he was n't drunk , you can tell , he is not stumbling about .
What kind of burglar goes straight upstairs to a bedroom ? ''
At Manchester 's Minshull Street Crown Court on Wednesday Bursk , aged 51 , and a father-of-three , of Overton Close , Radcliffe , admitted two counts of sexual assault of a child under @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a child under 13 ; one count of sexual assault of a woman in her 70s ; three counts of attempting to trespass with intent to commit a sexual offence ; and four counts of trespass with intent to commit a sexual offence .
The offences related to eight separate incidents and included the sexual assault on a child from 2012 , which was re-investigated .
As a result of publicity about the November 2019 attack the victim of the 2012 incident contacted police .
This time her case was submitted to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for 15 years , with a five year extended licence period , Judge John Potter described Bursk as a deviant sexual predator who had sunk to the depths of depravity .
His trespass into the home of the mum and her three children has had a long lasting impact .
`` We try not to think about what could have happened to us , but sometimes its difficult .
Our dogs saved us .
One is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier , and the other a Staffie mix .
They would have had him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` We are coping but it has affected my youngest daughter most .
Every night she has to lock the doors herself , and I have to be at home before she will go to bed . ''
Regarding the police response to Bursk 's trespassing of the family 's home GMP said it was initially recorded as a residential burglary .
They added that Bursk 's intent was not known at the time .

Commenting on the incident in July last year , when Bursk was chased by a man down the street and filmed before police decided not to investigate , Supt Howard Millington , who led Operation Horsley into his crimes , said : `` A review of all these matters was carried out internally by GMP .

At the time of incident in July last year , GMP was changing to a new computer system - iOPS , which resulted in major problems for the force and backlogs in supplying information to officers .

His intention was to commit another sex attack and he went straight upstairs to find a victim.

After a getting a taxi back from Manchester to Radcliffe, he began trying front and back doors of homes near where he lived - until he found one that was open.
Wearing a garish, dog-toothed design sports jacket and slacks, Bursk entered the family's home.
What happened next mirrored a scene out of a horror movie.
The woman whose house he broke into said: "I was at home with my children.
"It was 3.30am and we were all in bed. I heard an alert on the bell on my front door that it was open.

Manchester United are out of the FA Cup after Chelsea recorded a 3-1 win in the Wembley semi-final.
An empty Wembley played host to United and Chelsea, with Solskjaer gunning for a fourth victory over opposite number Frank Lampard this season, but one they did not get.
Solskjaer was forced to make five changes for the cup tie after United battled for a hard-fought win over Crystal Palace on Thursday in the Premier League.
Brandon Williams was picked to start at left wing-back for Solskjaer's side, with Fred, Daniel James, Eric Bailly and Nemanja Matic recalled.
But Bailly went off with a serious knock to the head in the first half, as Olivier Giroud's goal gave Chelsea a 1-0 lead deep into added time at the end of the first 45 minutes. Anthony Martial was introduced from the bench.
Chelsea then led 3-0 after a strike from Mason Mount and a Harry Maguire own-goal, before Bruno Fernandes pulled one back late on from the penalty spot.

United's hopes of reaching the FA Cup final were ended by Chelsea at Wembley, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's under-par side beaten 3-1 by the Blues.
Solskjaer made five changes to the side that had won at Crystal Palace on Thursday night and they were second best throughout against Frank Lampard's side.
But two David de Gea blunders proved costly to United's chances of setting up a final against Arsenal on August 1. The Spaniard failed to keep out Olivier Giroud's near-post effort in first-half stoppage time and then inexplicably let Mason Mount's long-range effort squirm under his body at the start of the second half.
Harry Maguire's own-goal ended the tie with 15 minutes to go but United did manage a consolation when Bruno Fernandes scored the spot.
What do United do after this? Does De Gea need to be dropped? Will a top-four finish still make this a good season? What did you make of Solskjaer's changes? Our senior football writer Tyrone Marshall answered your questions after the game.

The best British beaches according to UK holidaymakers have been named .
The annual survey from consumer watchdog Which ?

The best British beaches according to UK holidaymakers have been named.
The annual survey from consumer watchdog Which? has found that Brits favour peace and quiet over crowds, crazy golf and resort rides.
Britain's best beach was found to be at a small Cornish village with a population of less than 1,000 people.
St Mawes beat some of the county's most well-known beach destinations, including Salcombe and St Ives, to take the top spot.
Thousands of holidaymakers were asked to rate their recent visits to more than 100 seaside resorts based on factors including food and drink, seafront, beach, value for money and peace and quiet.
The Cornish village of St Mawes got a full five stars for its scenery, seafront and peace and quiet – and a glowing overall customer approval rating of 85 per cent.
Visitors recommended eating crab baguettes from Mr Scorse’s deli and spotting dolphins on the ferry to Falmouth.

Dartmouth in Devon, where visitors enjoy steam trains and delicious seafood, took second place, with an approval rating of 84 per cent.
Suffolk took third and fourth place, with seaside towns Southwold and Aldeburgh scoring top marks for scenery and peace and quiet.

Bamburgh in Northumberland topped last year’s rankings but fell to fifth place this year with an approval rating of 83 per cent.
Completing the top 10 were Blakeney in Norfolk, St Andrews in Fife, St Davids in Pembrokeshire, Tynemouth in Tyne and Wear and Beer in Devon.
Southport in Merseyside, one of Manchester's closest beaches, appeared around two thirds of the way down the table, with an approval rating of 65 per cent.
The survey, conducted in autumn 2019, took reviews for a total of 105 beaches across the UK.
The seaside resort with the lowest approval rating of them all was Skegness in Lincolnshire.

The famous home of the original Butlins only managed a 44 per cent customer score and achieved one-star ratings in every category but one.
But despite it's low score, some spoke fondly of the“typical town that caters for all ages” and one visitor told Which?: “Don’t be put off by the stereotypical opinions of Skegness. It’s a well maintained, vibrant area.”
Other seaside resorts with Victorian-era piers, amusement arcades and rollercoasters failed to impress.
Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, Clacton-on-sea in Essex, Bognor Regis in West Sussex, Margate in Kent and Blackpool and Morecambe both in Lancashire all appeared in the bottom 20.
Rory Boland, travel editor at Which? said: “With many people choosing to holiday in the UK this summer it is a good time to explore parts of the country you may not have considered before and to spread our sandcastles beyond the beaches of Devon and Cornwall.
"As our survey shows, it’s smaller seaside towns and villages with fewer visitors that holidaymakers love.
“Whether that’s hitting the waves in Tynemouth or camping in Criccieth, there are good options for those of us keen to keep our distance from the crowds this year but still want to combine stunning scenery with sumptuous seafood.
