BRAD PITTS FROM GREAT YARMOUTH SENTENCED FOR SEXUAL OFFENSES INVOLVING 15-YEAR-OLD GIRL

In August 2019, a man from Great Yarmouth named Brad Pitts was sentenced to three and a half years in prison following his involvement in a disturbing case of online grooming and sexual misconduct. The incident dates back to March 2016, when Pitts, then 19 years old, engaged in conversations with a 15-year-old girl via social media platforms.

According to court reports, Pitts was aware of the girl’s age but continued to communicate with her, ultimately arranging to meet in person. The meeting took place in a local park in Great Yarmouth, where Pitts engaged in inappropriate sexual contact with the minor. The details of the encounter were revealed during the trial, highlighting the serious nature of the offense.

Prosecutor Isobel Ascherson outlined that the offences occurred in March 2016, emphasizing the breach of trust and the vulnerability of the young girl involved. Pitts, who resided on Sturdee Avenue in Great Yarmouth, pleaded guilty to charges of sexual activity with a child, acknowledging his misconduct.

Following his conviction, Pitts was sentenced to three and a half years in prison. Additionally, he was subjected to a sexual harm prevention order, which imposes restrictions on his activities to protect the public from potential future offenses. He was also placed on the sex offender’s register, ensuring ongoing monitoring and public awareness of his criminal history.

This case underscores the importance of vigilance in online interactions and the legal consequences faced by individuals who exploit minors for sexual purposes, especially within communities like Great Yarmouth where such incidents can have profound impacts.
