MICHAEL WILES FROM MARGATE SENTENCED TO 11 YEARS FOR CHILD SEX OFFENCES IN KENT

A man identified as Michael Wiles from Margate has been sentenced to a lengthy prison term of 11 years after he pleaded guilty to numerous child sexual offences that spanned several years. The crimes, which include indecent assault and rape, were committed between the years 1999 and 2005, involving two young girls in the Kent area.

Wiles’s criminal activities came to light after one of his victims confided in her family about the abuse she endured. This disclosure prompted an investigation that ultimately led to his arrest and subsequent conviction at Canterbury Crown Court. The court heard how Wiles targeted two young girls during this period, with one victim suffering repeated abuse over an extended timeframe.

In addition to his prison sentence, Wiles was subjected to a series of legal restrictions designed to prevent further harm. These included a restraining order, which prohibits him from approaching or contacting the victims or their families. He was also placed on the sex offenders register, a legal requirement for individuals convicted of sexual offences, and was subject to a sexual harm prevention order aimed at monitoring and restricting his activities to protect the public.

His criminal conduct has left a lasting impact on the victims and their families, and the lengthy sentence reflects the severity of his offences and the community’s need for justice and safety. The case underscores the importance of vigilance and the role of victims in coming forward to ensure offenders are held accountable.
