It took just two words for predator Sterling Mervyn Free to lure a 7-year-old girl away from a Kmart north of Brisbane, before molesting her in bushland.
Free stalked the girl in the toy aisle at a Kmart in Westfield North Lakes, north of Brisbane in December last year.
The girl was Christmas shopping, one aisle over from her mother when he approached her and said "follow me". She was gone in moments.
CCTV then shows the victim following Free through the shopping centre.
He then drove her to secluded bushland, sexually assaulting her before dropping her back at the mall to be reunited with her terrified mother.
