Romford Rapist
In a disturbing case that unfolded in Romford, a man named Graham John Mills, aged 54, has been found guilty of attempting to commit rape after an incident that took place at the Cedar Park public toilets in Chadwell Heath. The court proceedings revealed a troubling encounter between Mills and a 13-year-old boy that has shocked the local community and raised serious concerns about safety in public spaces.

According to court records, the incident occurred on January 30 of this year. The young victim, who was on his way home, decided to stop at the Cedar Park public toilets in Chadwell Heath, Romford, when he was approached by Mills. The defendant, Mills, engaged in predatory behavior by passing a sexually explicit note underneath a toilet cubicle to the boy. This act was part of a coercive attempt to lure the teenager into a sexual act.

Further compounding the severity of the offense, Mills then threatened the boy with violence if he did not comply with the demands outlined in the note. The court heard that Mills's threats and actions created a situation of intimidation and fear for the young victim, who managed to find a way to escape from the situation. In a desperate bid for safety, the teenager promised Mills that he would return the following day, which allowed him to leave the scene and seek help.

During the trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court, Mills denied the charges of attempted rape and also denied causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity. Despite his denials, the jury found him guilty of both counts after a thorough trial that concluded on Thursday, June 7. The verdict has sent a clear message about the seriousness with which such predatory behavior is treated under the law.

Graham Mills is scheduled to be sentenced on June 28. The case has garnered significant attention in Romford and surrounding areas, highlighting ongoing concerns about public safety and the protection of minors from sexual predators in community spaces. The authorities have emphasized their commitment to ensuring justice is served and to safeguarding vulnerable individuals from similar threats in the future.
