JUSTIN BINGHAM ROCHDALE SEX OFFENDER SENTENCED FOR PERVERTED CRIMES AND DRUG OFFENSES

In a case that has shocked the community of Rochdale, Justin Bingham, a man from Milnrow, has been handed a 12-month prison sentence after admitting to a series of serious criminal charges involving a young girl. The court heard that Bingham, now aged 40, was involved in a disturbing pattern of sexual misconduct and related offenses spanning several years.

According to court records, Bingham pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including two counts of inciting a girl under the age of sixteen to engage in acts of gross indecency. He also admitted to making and possessing indecent photographs of a child, which further compounded the severity of his crimes. Additionally, Bingham was found guilty of producing a controlled substance classified as Class B cannabis, highlighting a troubling involvement in drug-related activities.

The criminal behavior reportedly began in 2001 when Bingham met the victim at a pub in Rochdale. At that time, the girl was only 14 years old. From that point onward, the relationship between Bingham and the girl developed into a sexual one, with Bingham frequently picking her up from school and engaging in sexual acts over a period of several years. The court was informed that Bingham took indecent photographs of the girl and recorded her performing sexual acts, actions that have caused lasting trauma.

Disturbingly, the girl became pregnant twice before reaching the age of 16, a fact that underscores the gravity of the abuse she endured. When questioned by police, Bingham claimed that he believed the girl was 16 when they met and that she had an abortion when she was 16. However, medical records presented during the investigation confirmed that the girl was only 14 at the time of the pregnancies, contradicting Bingham’s account.

The police emphasized that the victim’s ordeal has had a profound and lasting impact on her mental and emotional well-being. Her bravery in facing her abuser in court was commended by officers, who highlighted her courage in helping to secure his conviction. The case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of protecting vulnerable young people from exploitation and abuse, and the community continues to grapple with the repercussions of this disturbing case from Rochdale.
