Description

A man has been jailed for child sex offences after police were presented with an audio recording of his offending.

Matthew North, 28, from the Eastlands area of Rugby had pleaded guilty at Warwick Crown Court and was sentenced on Monday (15 April) to five years and four months in prison.

North pleaded guilty to nine counts of penetrative sexual activity with a girl aged 13-15. The offences occurred in the early 2020s at a house in the Rugby area.

A key witness had suspicions that North was in a sexual relationship with the girl and hid an iPad to record the offending. She contacted police and North was arrested.

North originally denied the offences in interview but later admitted to them after being presented with the recording along with the account from the victim.
