A PAEDOPHILE who abducted two young girls from a seafront arcade and then sexually assaulted them is set to be jailed.
Predatory paedophile Jason Hoodlass, 27, has pleaded guilty to multiple sexual offences after the heinous Lincolnshire attack.

Grimsby Crown Court heard he befriended the two girls at a Cleethorpes arcade and gave them money to use the machines, Grimsby Live reported.
He then took the pair to Ross Castle, a mock fortification ruin, on the promenade and sexually assaulted them.
After, they went to a clothing store in Grimsby town centre, where the Immingham man took indecent photos of the girls in a fitting room.
Hours later, the children left his company and told an adult what had happened.
Hoodlass has now admitted to a multitude of offences in the Grimsby Crown Court, including child abduction offences, sexual assault by touching, and taking indecent photographs.
Hoodlass has previous convictions for sex offences and was the subject of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order imposed at Hull Crown Court.
He has a previous conviction for sexual assault of a child under the age of nine years and previous convictions for possession of indecent images of children between 2013 and 2019.
Hoodlass had also already admitted breaching the Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
He admitted two breaches of the order after a member of the sex offender management team went to his property and seized electronic equipment which was later analysed and found to contain indecent images.
He admitted 10 charges in relation to those offences committed in May last year.
Judge Woolfall ordered a pre-sentence report and a further report to assess the dangerousness of the defendant.
He adjourned sentencing until a date in March. Hoodlass was remanded in custody.
Lincolnshire police have been approached for comment.
