Description

A CHRISTCHURCH man who raped and sexually assaulted a child has been jailed for five years.

Darren Marsh (22) of The Strete, committed the offences against the youngster, aged under 13, in New Milton last April.

He was sentenced at Southampton Crown Court on Friday after previously pleading guilty to rape and two counts of sexual assault.

On his release he will serve a 12-month extended period on licence and will be subject to a sexual harm prevention order. He was also ordered to sign the sex offenders register for life and banned from contacting the victim.

Speaking after the case, detective constable Dawn Capper, of the child abuse investigation team, said: I am so pleased for the young victim that justice has now been served for them and their family, and that Marsh has now been placed behind bars, where he belongs.

While I know this result wont rid them of the memories of what Marsh did, I truly hope it allows them to move forward with their life, safe in the knowledge that he can no longer harm any other children.

She added: I also hope this sentence will reassure other victims that they will be listened to when reporting similar incidents.

We encourage other victims to come forward and speak to us. We take allegations of this nature extremely seriously and work hard to bring offenders to justice.

This should also be a very clear message to other offenders out there that we will always work tirelessly to ensure you are brought to justice.

I would also like to thank everyone else who assisted in getting this conviction.

Description

A MAN who held a fake gun to a woman’s head and raped her during a massage appointment in Christchurch has been jailed for 18 years.

Neil Glover (47) attacked the victim – a woman in her 50s who cannot be named for legal reasons – while she gave him a massage, Bournemouth Crown Court heard.

The defendant, of no fixed abode, contacted the woman and had a massage from her on 10th February last year, during which he forcibly touched her inappropriately. She stopped Glover and he immediately apologised.

After Glover made further apologies he was given another massage appointment two days later. But when the victim had her back to him, Glover pulled out what she believed to be a gun and held it to her head. He forced her to perform a sex act on him and raped her, the court was told.

The victim reported the matter to police the following day and Glover was arrested at an address in Bournemouth. During a search of the premises officers found five imitation firearms, including a replica pistol which matched the description given by the victim.

When interviewed by officers Glover claimed the sexual activity had been consensual but made no comment to questions around the use of the firearm.

He subsequently denied four charges: two of rape, having a firearm with intent to commit an offence and assault by penetration. The jury found him guilty after a trial.

Glover will be subject to an extended licence period of a further seven years and a Sexual Harm Prevention Order. He was also placed on the sex offenders' register indefinitely.

DC Tom Bancroft, of Bournemouth CID, said: “She [the victim] suffered a horrific ordeal at the hands of this defendant that he then compounded by continuing to deny his offending and taking the matter to trial.

“I would like to praise the victim for the strength she has shown throughout – from coming forward initially, through to supporting the investigation and giving evidence for the trial.
