TWISTED PLYMOUTH CHILD RAPIST JAILED FOR 18 YEARS
A Plymouth man has been handed a lengthy jail sentence after he was found guilty of four counts of rape upon two girls aged under 16.Nicholas Stanyon-Tall appeared at Plymouth Crown Court after he was found guilty by a jury of a series of vile offences.
The 53-year-old, of Kiln Close, Plymouth had denied four counts of rape on two girls, who cannot be identified for legal reasons.
The offences took place in Plymouth during a four-year-period in the 2000s.
In addition he was found guilty of two counts of sexual assault between the same time period.
Judge Robert Linford handed Stanyon-Tall a 18-year jail sentence with one year extended licence period for each of the rape convictions and five years for each of the sexual assault offences, to run concurrently.
The 53-year-old was also made subject of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for 30 years and placed on the Sex Offenders' Register for life.
He was also made subject to a restraining order not to contact the two victims for the next 30 years and placed on the disclosure and barring service list for life.
Lead investigator, Det Con Fiona Archer said: "We welcome the Jury's verdict and the Judge's sentence in this case.
The victims now have some justice for the suffering they received as children, and we hope they can begin to move forward with their lives.
"They have conducted themselves in an exemplary manner and have been very patient whilst this case has been brought to court.
Nicholas Stanyon-Tall subjected the victims to abhorrent sexual abuse on numerous occasions.
He will now serve a long prison sentence and be subject of continued monitoring once released.
We thank all those involved for their part in bringing Nicholas Stanyon-Tall to justice."
