An armed robber who posed with a naked and gagged 13-year-old girl to blackmail her family into not reporting the crime said he 'hopes she feels better soon' as he was jailed.

Illegal immigrant Kai Wang, 37, tied up the young girl and took photographs during a two-hour robbery and then threatened to send the pictures to her school and post them online.

Wang and co-defendant Quan Chan, 38, claimed they carried out the knifepoint robbery stealing £20,000 this January to pay back people smugglers after they came into the country a month before.

But this was rejected as Wang was jailed for 14 years and three months and Chan for 13 years and six months at Wood Green Crown Court.

In a statement read out in court, Wang said: 'I am so sorry to the mother and daughter and I deeply regret this.

'I hope the little girl feels better soon.

'I made a mistake, I will be punished.

'I regret what I did and the damage caused to the little girl.'

Sentencing Judge Joanna Greenberg QC branded the Chinese nationals 'enthusiastic' criminals who do not show 'any form of genuine remorse or regret.'

Addressing Wang, who cowered and whimpered in the dock, she said: 'You terrorised that child, she must have been terrified.

'You undressed her, she was tied and gagged.

You pulled her clothing apart so her breast and vaginal area were exposed and you took photographs of those areas.

'In one of the photographs you are touching her breast.

'You told her the photographs would be sent to her school and shared online if she or her mother reported what you had done.

'Both of you were part of the plan to take the pictures.

'You were both confident that they would be too terrified to report what happened but you misjudged their courage.'

Defending Wang, Matthew Pardoe said: 'It is clear that Mr Wang was trafficked into this country.

'The reality is that people who are trafficked do so by paying to make sure they get into the country.

'The idea that it was his idea, bearing in mind he was in the country for a short amount of time, is highly unlikely.

'It is clear he was used to
