Latest Offenders Mansfield

Description

A pervert has been jailed after he raped a vulnerable 11-year-old girl in his car.

Shamol Miah, 33, was locked up for eight years for the crime.

Miah, of Little Carter Lane, Mansfield, pleaded guilty to raping a child under 13 in court.

The prosecution explained how Miah approached his victim in Mansfield town centre in May last year and they exchanged mobile numbers.

They chatted briefly later that evening before he arranged to pick her up from her house at 4am.

He then took her to a secluded location and raped her in his car before dropping her back off in town.

It was reported to the police at the time, but the offender was only known as “Adam”.

However, using CCTV and DNA evidence, police were able to snare the paedophile.

The judge at Nottingham Crown Court also gave Miah a ten-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order, as well as placing him on the Sex Offender's register for life.

Detective inspector Jamie Hill for Nottinghamshire Police said: "Miah preyed on a very young and vulnerable girl and we are glad that he has been given a considerable prison sentence.

“I'd like to thank all of the officers who worked on this case, from the response officers who helped the victim tell us what had happened through to the investigation and digital teams.

“But most importantly I'd like to thank the victim and her family, for seeing this case through court and helping us to ensure that Miah is unable to harm anyone else in this way.

“No child should suffer sexual abuse and we encourage anyone with any concerns to come forward and report it to us on 101 so we can continue to protect the children of Nottinghamshire."

A 23-year-old man who had a ‘step-by-step guide’ for paedophiles has been jailed for seven years.

Adam Rack, formerly of Heathfield Way, Mansfield, had a guide which gave information on how to engage in sexual relationships with children.

He pleaded guilty to 12 child sex offences when he first appeared at Nottingham Crown Court in May this year.

Rack was arrested after officers intercepted an attempted upload of indecent images and tracked the IP address to his house.

Rack’s laptops and phones were seized and an investigation was launched. Hundreds of indecent images and videos were recovered throughout the investigation and a 12-year-old boy was identified as a victim. Rack had abused him over two years when he was between the ages of eight and ten.

Detectives also recovered a 170-page ‘paedophile manual’ that described itself as a ‘step-by-step guide’ on how to engage in sexual relationships with children.

Rack will remain on the Sex Offenders Register for life as well as being the subject of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order. He was also given a life-long restraining order meaning he will never be allowed to contact the victim or the victim’s family. Police have praised Rack's victim for his bravery.

The 12-year-old victim has showed immense bravery in disclosing this to us, meaning that we were able to offer an overwhelming amount of evidence, leading to a guilty plea with no trial necessary. He is a credit to himself and his family and I hope the sentencing today can act as a positive step in his recovery.

A 19 year old who raped a child has been handed a 16 year jail sentence.

Shaie John Forth, 19, formerly of Gorseway in Clipstone, was sentenced at Nottingham Crown Court on today (August 17) following a five-day trial.

The jury returned majority guilty verdicts for four counts of child rape. Forth was also acquitted of the rape of a 40-year-old woman during the same trial. He was arrested following a report to police in May 2017.

Investigations uncovered a child had been subjected to the horrific abuse on a number of occasions when Forth was as young as 15.

Although he pleaded not guilty to the charges, prior to sentencing, his defence spoke on his behalf where he acknowledged his wrong doing against the child and showed remorse saying that he was sorry for what happened and the affect it had on the victim.

As well as the prison sentence, he was also placed on the sex offenders register for life and will be subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order.

Detective Sergeant Dan Bebbington of Nottinghamshire Police said: "This has been an extremely distressing case for everyone involved.

"No child should ever have to undergo these kind of horrors and that's why our Child Abuse Unit exists. We are here to help such brave young people find the courage to speak out about what is happening to them.

"This child should be commended for her exceptional strength at such a young age. She has shown incredible resilience in providing us with the evidence needed to fully investigate the crimes.

"The sentence today marks the end of this investigation, and the start of the rest of this remarkable young girls life.

"We encourage anyone with concerns regarding the mistreatment of children, in all its forms, to contact Nottinghamshire Police on 101 so we can continue our efforts in eradicating this most despicable of crimes."
