INIYAN NADARASA FROM SCUNTHORPE SENTENCED FOR EXPLOITING 13-YEAR-OLD GIRL AND LEAVING HER PREGNANT
In July 2018, a disturbing case emerged involving a man from Scunthorpe who exploited a young girl, resulting in her becoming pregnant.The individual, identified as Iniyan Nadarasa, aged 25 and residing on Warley Road in Scunthorpe, was found guilty of serious sexual offenses after a trial at Grimsby Crown Court.
According to court proceedings, Nadarasa engaged in sexual activity with a girl who was only 13 years old at the time.
Despite his claims that he believed she was 15 or 16, the court was informed that he knew her actual age was 13.
The prosecution emphasized that the law is designed to protect minors from such exploitation, regardless of whether the minor appeared willing or consented to the acts.
The court heard that Nadarasa and the girl had sexual encounters on three separate occasions.
Although the girl consented to these encounters, the law recognizes that children are not capable of giving legal consent due to their age and immaturity.
The judge, Recorder Richard Woolfall, clarified that Nadarasa was aware of her true age, stating, “I am satisfied that you knew she was 13.” During the trial, it was revealed that the girl became pregnant after the third sexual encounter.
She chose to undergo an abortion at 11 weeks of pregnancy.
The case highlighted the grave nature of the offense and the importance of protecting minors from sexual exploitation.
As a result of his conviction, Nadarasa was sentenced to seven years in prison.
Additionally, he was subjected to a lifelong sexual harm prevention order, which restricts his activities and contact with minors.
He is also required to register as a sex offender for life, ensuring ongoing monitoring and restrictions to prevent further harm.
This case underscores the legal system’s firm stance on protecting vulnerable minors from sexual abuse and exploitation, emphasizing that age and maturity are critical factors in such cases, regardless of the apparent willingness of the young victim.
