Sex offender sentenced to 6 years at Exeter Cown Court

Police have welcomed the sentence of a 21-year-old man who pleaded guilty to committing child sexual offences in South Devon.

Jordan Hill, of Ramshill Road, Paignton, was today, Friday 14 August, sentenced at Exeter Crown Court to 6 years in prison.

Hill admitted to 13 sexual offences relating to seven girls, aged between 13 and 16 at the time, which were committed between April 2013 and December 2014.

 

Detective Sergeant Kim Power, Deputy Senior Investigating Officer in the Public Protection Unit, said: “Hill committed crimes against vulnerable young girls for his own gratification.

“He was prolific in his contact with young girls via social media, where he befriended them online on a daily basis and ultimately went on to commit offences against them.

“There was evidence of premeditation of grooming girls online and then arranging to meet with them.”

From the outset of this investigation, officers have worked closely with Devon County Council and Torbay Council and other partner agencies including local schools, health professionals, and the Crown Prosecution Service.

DS Power added: “All of the partner agencies responded quickly when the allegations came to light and worked together tirelessly to ensure Hill was brought to justice.

“Hill was prolific in targeting vulnerable young girls in order to satisfy his own sexual deviance.

“He has shown himself to be a selfish and manipulative individual who had a total disregard for the welfare of his vulnerable victims, who are now having to live with the effects of his traumatic actions.

“We welcome today’s sentence. This reflects the serious nature of these offences and we hope that it goes at least some way to helping victims and their families deal with the crimes committed against them.

“While we have supported the victims and their families, this has been an emotional and difficult time for all affected by Hill’s actions and the victims have shown immense courage throughout this investigation.

“I hope they can take some comfort in the fact that by making the reports to the police, we were able to ensure that Hill could not commit further crimes and we were able to safeguard other children that may have been at risk of harm.”

Torbay Council’s Executive Lead for Adults and Children, Councillor Julien Parrott, said: “'Through successful partnership working we have been able to bring this person to justice. This demonstrates our determination that this type of crime will not be tolerated in Torbay.

“For the young victims to speak up about what was happening has shown great courage and we will continue to support them and their families in any way that we can.

“This case shows how social media can be used to contact and potentially groom victims and I would strongly urge any parent, child or young person who wants to know more about staying safe online to visit our Virtually Safe website (www.torbayvirtuallysafe.co.uk )”

Teenagers are reminded of the risks that sexual predators pose online and are urged not to meet up with strangers. If meeting. ensure someone is with you or is aware of what you are doing. Parents should also be aware of parental locks and of what their child is accessing.

Other victims of Jordan Hill are encouraged to contact DS Kim Power by calling 101, where relevant support will be offered.

Other victims of child sexual abuse are also urged to contact police by calling 101.

Crack down on anti-social behaviour in Lancing

Police are cracking down on anti-social behaviour in Lancing.

The Local Neighbourhood Policing team has been granted a Section 35 dispersal order which gives officers the power to move individuals from a specific area. Police are using their new powers under the revised Anti-social and Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014.

The order was first introduced on 29 May and initially covered Sompting Road and Penstone Park but has now been increased to cover North Road, Crabtree Lane, South Street, Monks Recreation Ground, North Farm Road, Wembley Avenue and Annweir Avenue.

The exclusion means those people moved on cannot return to that area for 48 hours and if anyone breaches its terms they could be arrested. The time scale for implementing the dispersal order is under constant review, but is likely to last throughout the rest of the summer.

Since 29 May, 10 youths have so far been given an official dispersal order warning, one has subsequently been arrested and another youth has been issued with a Community Protection Notice. Two youths have also been dealt with for drug offences and one for a public order offence.

The dispersal order is not designed to create an exclusion zone or a curfew area, but is intended to make the area more pleasant for those who live, work and visit. Police will not necessarily disperse people in this area just because they are in a group; it is aimed at giving police additional powers to deal more effectively with groups causing problems in the area.

PC Robert Luff, of Lancing's Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: "We have noticed a slight increase in groups of youths causing anti-social behaviour in the town. These powers enable us to effectively disrupt and discourage their behaviours and low level criminality.

"We are also involving drug and alcohol intervention workers so that we can address the problems long term."

Any incidents of anti-social behaviour can be reported by emailing 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk or by calling 101.
