Description
Following a Thames Valley Police investigation, a man from Bicester has been convicted of rape and other child sexual offences.
A jury unanimously found Hayden Nolan, aged 31, of Bernwood Road, guilty of two counts each of rape of a child under 13, assault of a child under 13 by penetration, and sexual assault of a child under 13 at Oxford Crown Court on Thursday (7/12).
He is due to be sentenced on 11 January next year.
Nolan raped and sexually assaulted a child under 13 numerous times. He was charged on 15 December last year.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Bryn Smith, of the Child Abuse Investigation Unit, said: “Hayden Nolan is a predatory sex offender who has now been convicted three times of offences against children.
“Nolan is a danger to children around him. He is extremely manipulative and an experienced liar.
“He groomed the child victim in this matter over a few months, starting with touching over clothing which then quickly escalated to rape.
“This abuse only ceased when he was imprisoned after being caught making arrangements to meet a teenage girl for sex in early 2019. The girl was in fact a decoy child operated by a law enforcement officer.
