CHELTENHAM PAEDOPHILE HAROLD ROGERS SENTENCED FOR ILLEGAL SEXUAL ACTIVITIES INVOLVING TEENAGER
In April 2012, a man identified as Harold Rogers, a former soldier residing in Cheltenham, was sentenced to four years in prison after being found guilty of engaging in illegal sexual activities. The case revealed disturbing details about Rogers' interactions with a teenage boy, which culminated in his conviction for serious offenses.According to court proceedings, Rogers, aged 57, exploited online platforms to establish a connection with a 14-year-old boy from Cirencester. The boy, who was described as being confused about his own sexuality, initially communicated with Rogers through a gay dating website. Over the course of several months, the two engaged in explicit acts via webcams, with Rogers performing sexual acts on camera for the boy and vice versa, as detailed by prosecutor Lisa Hennessy.
The situation took a darker turn when the boy agreed to meet Rogers in person in Cheltenham. To his father, the boy claimed he was going to do gardening work for a friend's grandfather, a story that was later revealed to be fabricated. Unaware of the true nature of the meeting, the boy's father drove him to Cheltenham, where Rogers arranged for two sexual encounters with the teenager.
During the trial, Rogers denied two charges of sexually touching the boy, asserting that he believed the teenager was over 16 years old. Despite his claims, the court found sufficient evidence to convict him after a two-day trial. As part of his sentence, Rogers was ordered to sign the sex offenders register for the remainder of his life, reflecting the severity of his crimes and the court's stance on protecting minors from such exploitation.
