| Red Rose Database
Maidenhead Warminster Child Sexual Abuser
In a case that has spanned over two decades, Michael Ewers, a man with connections to Maidenhead and Warminster, has been sentenced to prison for serious sexual offenses committed against a young boy in the late 1980s. The conviction follows a detailed investigation prompted by the victim, now a 32-year-old married father, who came forward last year to report the abuse he endured as an 11-year-old child.
According to court proceedings, the victim recounted how Ewers, then aged 20, had taken on a paternal role in his life and gradually groomed him at three different addresses within Maidenhead around 1988. The victim described how Ewers manipulated and encouraged him into engaging in sexual activities, a process that left lasting scars. The prosecutor, Daniel Fugallo, emphasized the gravity of the case, highlighting the long-lasting impact of the abuse.
Judge John Reddihough delivered the verdict at Reading Crown Court, imposing a substantial sentence of eight years in prison for the most serious charge of sexual assault. In addition, Ewers was convicted on two counts of gross indecency with a child, for which he received 12 months, and two further counts of similar offenses, resulting in 18-month sentences. All these sentences are to be served concurrently, meaning the total time Ewers will spend behind bars is eight years.
At the time of sentencing, it was revealed that Ewers, now aged 41, is employed as a paramedic and currently resides on Warren Road in Warminster, Wiltshire. As part of his punishment, he is also required to sign the Sex Offenders’ Register for life, ensuring ongoing monitoring of his activities and preventing further harm to the community. The case underscores the importance of vigilance and the justice system’s commitment to protecting vulnerable individuals from predatory behavior, regardless of how much time has passed since the offenses occurred.
