    ALYN MATLESS OF PORTSLADE SENTENCED FOR HISTORIC SEX OFFENCES IN HOVE

    In March 2016, Alyn Matless, a 73-year-old resident of Old Shoreham Road, Portslade, was convicted and sentenced at Hove Crown Court for multiple historic sexual offences involving a young girl. He was found guilty of 15 counts: seven of indecently assaulting a girl under 13, seven of gross indecency with a girl under 14, and one of rape of a girl under 16. All these offences related to the same female victim, with incidents occurring between the ages of five and 14 in Hove.

    Matless received a combined sentence of 10 years, comprising four years for indecent assault, two years for gross indecency, and ten years for the rape, all to run concurrently. This means he will serve a total of 10 years in prison.

    Previously, in March 2014, Matless had already been imprisoned for five and a half years after being found guilty of 21 offences—including indecent assault and gross indecency—with children aged between 3 and 12 years old. These offences spanned from 1962 to 1989 and involved four young girls.

    In August 2014, police conducted searches of both his home and his business premises as part of ongoing investigations into historic sex abuse allegations. Officers searched his address at Old Shoreham Road and his business, M&B Domestic Appliances, located in Goldstone Villas. During the searches, documents and communication devices were seized. No arrests were made at the time, and police declined to release further details while investigations continued.

    Matless, who founded an electric repair shop in 1983, exploited his community ties to befriend the victims’ parents and secretly abuse the children over several decades. His trial last year ended with a hung jury, leading to his temporary release. However, he was re-tried and convicted in March 2016, resulting in the current sentence.

    A spokesperson for the investigation, retired Detective Constable Martyn Milligan, emphasized the distress caused to the victims, stating, “This was a very distressing series of offences, and the victims suffered greatly over many years. Their willingness to come forward and support the prosecution, in which they each had to give evidence twice as there was a re-trial, contributed in large part to bringing Matless to justice. This is another case that shows that offenders of this type can be successfully prosecuted, even after many years. We encourage anyone who suffers physical or sexual abuse to come forward, no matter how long after the events. You will be able to speak in confidence to experienced detectives who can also arrange access to a range of counselling and other supportive facilities.”
