Description
A sex offender has been jailed for 11 years for non-recent sex offences against a child.
Ben Quinton-Taylor was sentenced after admitting assault by penetration on 6 October 2023 at Canterbury Crown Court.
The charge was brought after a woman reported that between 2009 and 2011 he had sexually assaulted her as a child inside a property in Gillingham. The victim was of primary school age at the time.
Kent Police started the investigation in September 2019 after the allegations were made and he was arrested in February 2020 and following a thorough investigation he was charged in June 2022.
Quinton-Taylor, 47, of High Street, Canterbury, also admitted criminal damage and two counts of controlling and coercive behaviour. These charges were brought following allegations by two further victims relating to separate offences.
As well as being jailed he was handed restraining orders preventing him from contacting all three victims. He was also added to the Sex Offenders’ Register for life.
A Sexual Harm Prevention Order was also imposed, which seeks to prevent him from reoffending.
