Description
In 2017, (Then aged 14-years-old) Casey cooke from Plymouth was locked up for at least four years and three months after he admitted raping a boy aged six and sexually abusing a two-year-old.
Cooke had pleaded guilty to a total of five offences four of causing or inciting a child into sexual activity and one count of rape.
The court was told that Cooke was left in the company of a two-year-old boy.
The toddlers mother returned to the room to find the younger boys privates out of his nappy and appeared sore and red.
Cooke who was 13 at the time was then discovered to have been telling people at school that he had performed an indecent act upon the toddler.
Police were called and interviewed Cooke who in turn made a full admission.
At the time, with input from a number of authorities including the NSPCC, his school, social workers and the Plymouth Youth Offending Team, police agreed that a caution was the most appropriate course of action.
However the parents of the toddler were not content with the caution being offered.
His sexual offending continued and a few months later Cooke had gone on a trip with a six-year-olds extended family and other children.
He took the younger boy to a toilet cubicle where he performed two indecent acts upon the younger boy.
Later that month, Cooke had again gone with the six-year-olds family and other children to a fast food restaurant as a treat.
As they were walking home, the adult accompanying the children realised they could not see the teen nor the six-year-old.
Retracing his steps he heard screaming and found the six-year-old pinned against a wall, being raped by the teen who had his hand over the younger boys mouth.
When the very very upset boy got home he revealed that 14-year-old Cooke had also performed an indecent act upon him prior to the rape. He also finally revealed the previous sexual assaults on when the teen had urged him not to tell anyone.
Cooke was sentenced to four years and three months. His release date is due within next few months.
