COLIN KENTON BANNED FROM BROUGHTON AFTER CHILD SEX OFFENCES IN WREXHAM AND MOLD
In July 2014, authorities imposed strict restrictions on Colin Kenton, a man from Broughton, prohibiting him from residing in Broughton or any nearby areas until at least 2021. This ban was part of a comprehensive set of measures due to his classification as a very high-risk offender. The restrictions are so severe that even visiting Broughton is entirely out of the question for him, reflecting the serious concern authorities have regarding his potential threat to the community.Back in August 2011, Kenton, then 27 years old, was sentenced to six years in prison after being convicted of child sex offences. The court found him guilty of charges including indecent assault and sexual assault on a young girl. Despite his denial of the allegations, a jury at Mold Crown Court convicted him after hearing the evidence. Kenton, who resided on Warren Drive in Broughton, faced a sentencing hearing before Judge Philip Hughes, who also imposed an indefinite Sexual Offences Prevention Order (SOPO) on him. This order explicitly prohibits him from having any unsupervised contact with children once he is released from prison.
The court heard that Kenton’s offending was compounded by his previous convictions, which included a sexual assault on a boy in 1999 and an indecent assault on a very young girl in 1997. The recent allegations involved a girl under the age of 10, and the abuse reportedly took place over a period of three years, highlighting the prolonged nature of his misconduct. Judge Hughes described Kenton as a ‘dangerous offender,’ emphasizing that he posed a significant risk to the safety of the public, especially children.
During the sentencing, Oliver King, representing Kenton, argued that his client had led a relatively productive life, maintaining steady employment over the years. King stated that Kenton had been employed with the same company for six years and that his job was being kept open for him, suggesting some level of community support or leniency.
However, the prosecution, led by Simon Mills, pointed out that the Probation Service considered Kenton to be a high risk of causing physical, sexual, emotional, and psychological harm to children, particularly pre-pubescent females. This assessment underscored the gravity of his offences and the ongoing danger he posed, which justified the lengthy prison sentence and the strict supervision measures now in place to protect vulnerable members of society.
