April 2012 Man jailed for sex act with teenage girl A DINNER time school supervisor has been jailed for 26 months after being convicted of sexual activity with a teenage girl. Keith Adams was told by Judge Andrew Bright QC: “You have a deviant sexual interest in children which you are not prepared to admit.” The 50-year-old, who was separated from his disabled wife, was also found to have indecent movies of children on his computer when police raided his Woolmer Green home after a friend of the girl involved raised the alarm. St Albans Crown Court heard Adams began working at a Welwyn Hatfield secondary school in 2008, subsequently befriending the teenager. She rang him at home and they had long telephone conversations. He told her that he would not call her because his calls could be traced. Isabel Delamere, prosecuting, said that in December 2009 he went for a walk with her in the woods and kissed her on the lips. Then, in February 2010, she went back to his flat where he kissed her again, fondled her buttocks and performed a sexual act. A friend of the girl raised the alarm because she was concerned they were going to have full sex. Police arrested Adams, a father of one, and found 49 indecent movies on his computer. Adams, of Twin Foxes, was convicted, after a retrial, of three counts of sexual activity with a child. He admitted seven charges of making indecent movies of a child, by downloading them, and one of possession of indecent movies of a child. Defence barrister Sarah Przybylska said there had been no coercion. She said: “The victim was willing and was not forced into any activity. “There was no prolonged period of grooming and these were two isolated incidents.” But sentencing him on Friday, Judge Bright said: “The fact that she was willing is irrelevant. “You were a member of staff and this was a gross breach of trust.” He jailed Adams for 21 months for the sexual activity with a child, with five more months for the indecent movies. Adams must sign the sex offenders’ register for 10 years and is subject to a 10-year sexual offences prevention order which includes banning him from accessing any pornographic sites and being alone with females aged under 16.
