According to court records, Maydew, who was 20 years old at the time of his release scheduled for July 2016, was found guilty in October 2014 of multiple serious charges related to the sexual assault of minors.
The jury convicted him of sexually assaulting a girl under the age of 13 and also of assaulting another young girl, aged just five, by penetration.
The second victim was noted to have learning difficulties, which compounded the severity of the crime.
The court was informed that the first victim, a 10-year-old girl, was subjected to sexual assault by Maydew.
The details of the abuse were harrowing, with medical evidence revealing scars caused by his fingernails after he had inserted them into her private parts.
The assault on this girl was reported to have occurred on at least two separate occasions, highlighting a pattern of predatory behavior.
The second victim, a five-year-old girl with learning difficulties, was also assaulted by Maydew through penetration.
Medical examinations confirmed the presence of injuries consistent with the abuse, further emphasizing the brutality of his actions.

One of the victims was described as being too frightened to go upstairs alone, illustrating the lasting psychological trauma inflicted by Maydew’s actions.
In his sentencing, Maydew received a term of three years and six months in a young offenders' institution.
Additionally, he was ordered to register as a sex offender indefinitely, a measure designed to monitor and restrict his movements post-release.
The court also imposed a geographical restriction, prohibiting him from entering the areas of Wolverhampton and Bilston upon his release, in an effort to protect the community and prevent further harm.
