ERIC LONG FROM GREAT YARMOUTH JAILED FOR PERVERTED ACTS AND BANNED FROM ARCADES

In a case that has shocked the community of Great Yarmouth, Eric Long, a 50-year-old man, has been sentenced to five years in prison after being found guilty of a series of disturbing offenses involving young girls. The court heard that Long, who is married, engaged in highly inappropriate and criminal behavior that targeted vulnerable children in the seaside town.

Long's criminal activities included taking indecent photographs of two young girls and posing nude alongside them in his caravan, an act that has caused widespread outrage and concern among local residents. The court was informed that Long had befriended an eight-year-old girl on the seafront of Great Yarmouth, exploiting her innocence for his own depraved purposes. This initial contact was the beginning of a series of troubling incidents involving minors.

Further investigations revealed that Long later took two additional young girls to an arcade in the area. During these visits, he showed them photographs of the girls he had previously assaulted, including images of himself with the other victims. These actions demonstrated a pattern of predatory behavior and a blatant disregard for the safety and well-being of the children involved.

Long pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including gross indecency, abduction, and possession of indecent images. His actions have been condemned by the court, which took into account the serious nature of his offenses and the impact on the victims.

As part of his sentencing, Norwich Crown Court imposed strict restrictions on Long’s activities. He is now prohibited from visiting any slot machine arcades alone, a ban that will remain in effect until 2019. Additionally, Long has been placed on the sex offenders register, ensuring ongoing monitoring of his activities to prevent further harm.

This case highlights the ongoing concerns about child safety in public spaces and the importance of vigilance in protecting vulnerable members of the community. The authorities have emphasized their commitment to safeguarding children and punishing those who exploit their innocence.
