Isle of Wight paedophile Adrian Stone, who has been described as a risk to children, has been sentenced to 4 years in prison after sexually assaulting an underage girl he took out in his car.
It was in early September that Stone, of Horsebridge Hill in Newport, made contact with a girl he knew to be under the age of 16, messaging her out of the blue to suggest they go fishing together.
On 17th September, Stone picked up the girl in his car and took her for a drive – unsupervised and without her parents’ consent.
At this time, Stone was subject to a SHPO – handed to him following a previous sexual offence conviction – which prohibited him from having unsupervised contact of any kind with any girl under the age of 16, without the consent of the child’s parent and on the proviso that the parent had knowledge of his previous conviction.
The girl was driven to a secluded location near the River Medina where Stone sexually assaulted her. He then drove her home, but refused to let her out of the car until she hugged him. The girl agreed, at which point Stone gave her a kiss on the cheek.
Stone continued to message the girl after the incident, but the girl subsequently disclosed the messages and the assaults to friends and family.
He was later arrested by police and initially denied everything in interview, before admitting to police that he had lied to officers about the messages to the victim. However, he continued to deny the sexual assaults, but soon admitted these when he appeared in court.
The 58-year-old, from Newport, pleaded guilty to 2 counts of sexual assault and 1 count of breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) when he appeared before the Isle of Wight Crown Court back in January.
It was In November last year that Stone also pleaded guilty to engaging in sexual communications with a child.
This week, at the Crown Court, he appeared for sentencing where he was given a total of 4 years behind bars, with an additional extended licence period of 4 years.
Despite breaching his previous order, Stone has been given a new SHPO and also made subject to a restraining order.
DC Sophie Asher, who investigated the case, has said:
“Stone knowingly and willingly pursued contact with this young girl, before taking her away to a secluded location without the knowledge or consent of the family so he could sexually assault her.
“This was a calculated course of conduct which demonstrates the risk he poses to children.
“I want to commend the bravery of the victim in this case who, despite being a child, showed such courage in disclosing what had happened to her. Because of this courage, a dangerous man has now been convicted.”.
He’ll be out in 2 years. Scum should be castrated.
Yeh, and let the parents of the victim do it
Where did the parents think their daughter was? Why do parents not teach their kids not to go off with people in their cars and, indeed, how to apply a knee to the groin if some bloke tries it on with them?
Those who allowed this sick nonce to remain walking about knowing he was a danger to children when he already had an SHPO on him should be held to account. The Island is full of paedos, drug dealers, low life scum and ferral brats doing as they like and too many do gooders siding with them. The place has become a dumping ground and is being poisoned by such dross.
Parents don’t seem to be educating their kids as to the dangers of going off with these nonces any more. My kids were always told never to talk to or go off with anyone you don’t know
4 years…great be out in 2 ..brilliant well done to all.
