| Red Rose Database
New Addington Rapist
In a disturbing case that has sent shockwaves through the community of New Addington, a man named Frederick Skinner has been convicted and sentenced for a series of heinous crimes involving a young girl. The 59-year-old, who resides on Goldcrest Way in New Addington, engaged in a prolonged campaign of grooming and sexual assault against a girl who was only 12 years old at the start of his predatory behavior.
According to court records, Skinner initially lured his young victim by offering her small amounts of pocket money to work at his car workshop. During her visits, he would often brush past her inappropriately as she cleaned his vehicles, creating an unsettling pattern of behavior that gradually escalated. As the girl turned 13, Skinner convinced her to accompany him to Keston Ponds, located in Keston Common. There, he took her into the woods and subjected her to a sexual assault, an act that marked the beginning of a series of abuse.
Following the assault, Skinner took the girl back to her home and warned her explicitly not to disclose what had happened, threatening that both of them would face trouble if she did. Over the next year, Skinner continued to sexually assault his victim on multiple occasions, using his van and his mother’s residence as locations for his heinous acts. Each time, he reiterated his warning for her to keep silent, instilling fear and confusion in the young girl.
The victim’s family eventually discovered text messages from Skinner, which raised suspicions and prompted them to contact the police. The authorities responded swiftly, arresting Skinner on the same day and seizing his van for forensic analysis. Investigators found DNA evidence linking Skinner to the crimes, with genetic material from both the offender and the victim recovered from a carpet inside his van.
During police interviews, Skinner denied all allegations, maintaining his innocence. However, the evidence against him was overwhelming. At Woolwich Crown Court, he was convicted of three counts of rape and five counts of sexual activity with a child. The court’s judgment reflected the severity of his crimes, labeling him a 'dangerous child rapist.'
As a result of his conviction, Skinner was sentenced to 16 years in prison. Additionally, he is required to sign the sex offenders’ register for life, ensuring ongoing monitoring of his activities after his release. The case has left a lasting impact on the community of New Addington, highlighting the importance of vigilance and the need to protect vulnerable children from predators like Frederick Skinner.
