ALFIE MCINTYRE'S CRIME IN NEWQUAY: CHILD RAPE AT TREVITHICK MANOR FAIRGROUND
| Red Rose Database
Newquay Rapist
In October 2016, a disturbing case unfolded in Newquay involving Alfie McIntyre, an 18-year-old fairground worker who was convicted of heinous crimes against an 11-year-old girl. The incident took place in the seaside town known for its vibrant attractions and bustling fairgrounds, casting a dark shadow over the community.
McIntyre was sentenced to five years in a young offender's institution at Truro Crown Court after pleading guilty to two counts of rape during an earlier hearing. The court heard that at the time of the assault, McIntyre was residing temporarily at the Springvale Guest House on Henver Road, Newquay.
The events leading to his conviction began at Trevithick Manor, Trellogan Road, where McIntyre was working at a fairground. It was there that he first encountered two young girls, including the victim, who was only 11 years old. The court revealed that McIntyre engaged in flirtatious behavior with the girls, gradually escalating his advances. He spoke to the victim in a suggestive manner, expressing a desire to have sex with her, and even offered her free rides at the fairground as a lure.
Three days after their initial meeting, the two girls returned to the fairground. Once the victim’s friend left the site, McIntyre and the girl continued their conversation and eventually left together, walking towards the town of Newquay. The court detailed that McIntyre then invited the girl to his flat on the upper floor of the Springvale Guest House on Henver Road. Inside, he began kissing her, but the girl pulled away, expressing her fear of getting into trouble. Despite her protests, McIntyre persisted, pulling down her leggings and demanding sex.
The girl again expressed her concern about police involvement, but McIntyre threatened that they would not speak again if she did not comply. Ignoring her pleas, he continued his assault, removing her underwear and raping her, despite her repeated requests for him to stop. He then offered her a choice: to continue or to perform oral sex on him. After the assault, McIntyre walked the girl back to her parents’ house, where her mother offered him a glass of lemonade.
In the days that followed, McIntyre boasted to the girl’s friends about what had happened. The victim, suffering from physical pain, confided in her stepfather and mother, who immediately contacted the police. A medical examination confirmed that the girl had been raped. Police subsequently searched McIntyre’s flat, discovering condoms—previously mentioned by the girl—and CCTV footage that verified her presence at the location.
McIntyre was arrested on June 4. During police interviews, he denied having sex with the girl, claiming she was following him around despite his requests for her to stop. He was charged with two counts of rape and later pleaded guilty in court.
Throughout the sentencing hearing, McIntyre showed little emotion as Judge Simon Carr delivered his verdict. The judge emphasized the lifelong risk McIntyre posed to women, stating there was “no doubt” he would remain a danger for the rest of his life. Judge Carr expressed his condemnation, noting that the young girl would carry the trauma for the rest of her life. He acknowledged McIntyre’s personal challenges but criticized his lack of remorse and his perception of himself as the victim.
Judge Carr concluded that McIntyre was a high risk to women and lacked understanding of the severity of his actions. As part of his sentence, McIntyre was ordered to serve five years in a young offender’s institution and to be registered on the sex offenders register for life, marking a grim chapter in the community of Newquay.
