Stourbridge Wollescote Child Sexual Abuser
In a disturbing case that has shocked the communities of Stourbridge and Wollescote, Garry Wainwright, aged 53, has been sentenced to two and a half years in prison after being found guilty of sending sexually explicit messages to two young girls, aged ten and fourteen, and attempting to solicit nude photographs from them. The case was heard at Wolverhampton Crown Court, where Judge John Wait delivered a stern judgment, emphasizing the serious harm caused by Wainwright's actions.
Judge Wait highlighted the particularly damaging impact on the younger victim, stating that Wainwright's conduct had encouraged her to engage in sexual activity, which was wholly inappropriate and occurred over an extended period. The judge described Wainwright’s behavior as a calculated attempt to manipulate and corrupt a vulnerable child, noting that the communication was not a one-time incident but a sustained campaign of exploitation.
The court was told that Wainwright initially contacted the ten-year-old girl via Facebook, attempting to establish a rapport and gain her trust. Once he believed he had her confidence, he introduced sexual content into their conversations, describing explicit acts and requesting that she send him nude photographs of herself. His messages were graphic and detailed, revealing a disturbing level of predatory intent.
Furthermore, Wainwright also targeted the fourteen-year-old girl, who was described as vulnerable. It was revealed that he had previously carried out a sexual assault on her, and he continued to pursue her by asking her to send indecent messages. His actions demonstrated a pattern of predatory behavior aimed at exploiting minors.
Wainwright, who resides at Cherry Tree Court in Wollescote, admitted to one charge of sexual assault and five counts of causing or inciting sexual activity with a child. The court also ordered that he must register as a sex offender for life and imposed an indeterminate Sexual Offenders Protection Order to restrict his future conduct.
During the hearing, Wainwright’s defense lawyer, Christopher Rodwell, argued that Wainwright’s requests to the ten-year-old girl were merely a 'fantasy' and that he never intended to meet her in person. Mr. Rodwell explained that Wainwright, who was experiencing depression and leading a lonely life, became carried away as his emotional state deteriorated. He claimed that Wainwright was remorseful and was trying to come to terms with his actions, which the defense suggested might reduce the risk he posed to others.
Prosecutor Jennifer Josephs confirmed that Wainwright was aware of the girl’s age, as she had explicitly told him she was ten. Despite this, he took on a confidant role, engaging in inappropriate conversations and requesting explicit images. The case came to light when the girl’s mother discovered the messages, was shocked by their content, and promptly contacted the police. Wainwright initially denied any wrongdoing, describing the messages as 'disgusting,' but was later arrested and charged.
This case underscores the ongoing concerns about online grooming and exploitation, especially involving minors in the communities of Stourbridge and Wollescote. The authorities continue to emphasize the importance of vigilance and reporting any suspicious behavior to prevent such cases from occurring in the future.
