June 2015 South Yorkshire paedophile jailed for 17 years & six months Paedophile Stephen Noy was jailed for 17 years and six months for grooming and abusing two girls. Judge Rosalind Coe QC said the 57-year-old former publican had been found guilty of ‘massively abusing’ the pair in the 1980s and 90s. Noy, of Bernard Road, Edlington, Doncaster, had denied seven counts of indecent assault and two of having sex with a girl under the age of 13. The week-long trial ended when the jury found him guilty of all charges. They took two hours to reach their verdicts at Nottingham Crown Court. Noy will spend the rest of his life on the Sex Offenders’ Register. He will be freed from jail half way through the sentence but will be on licence. The judge told him: “There are almost no mitigating factors at all. You had your trial and made these young women go through the experience of having to give evidence and be cross-examined. “These matters occurred a very long time ago and I have to take that into account.” The judge said there were ‘very many aggravating features’. One victim had suffered problems before she met Noy and fell victim to his sexual abuse. He then used her troubled background during the trial to try TO discredit her. His abuse had ‘a lifelong effect in terms of her mental and physical wellbeing, in her relationships, in terms of her family life and in particular her career’. The second girl was forced into having sex with Noy before she was old enough to attend school. The judge added: “Your grooming took place over many years, using all sorts of psychological tricks.” Noy was banned for life from working with girls under 16. He must have no unsupervised contact with girls up to that age. The jury was told Noy was given a police caution for the indecent assault of another girl under 14 before the charges which led to this trial. Kevin Jones, defending, said: “There is little I can say in terms of remorse and the like. He had his trial. “The aggravating features are many – age and the grooming elements. This clearly is one of the more serious offences of its type. This has to be a very significant sentence.” But he said the offences took place many years ago and Noy had not been in trouble since then. During the trial, the prosecutor Robert Underwood described Noy as a ‘predatory paedophile unable to contain his lustful desires’. Video interviews of both women were played in court before they were questioned by the defence. Both had earlier reported Noy’s abuse. One was deterred by a social worker and the other decided not to pursue her allegations after speaking to a police officer. He said it would be ‘her word against his’ and difficult to prove. When one girl heard that the other’s allegations were being doubted, she backed her and said that she had also been a victim of Noy, the trial was told. June 2015 Doncaster man guilty of abusing young girls A former Doncaster publican has been found guilty of the sexual abuse of two girls. A jury took two hours to return unanimous verdicts against Stephen Noy, aged 57, of Bernard Road, Edlington today. Noy had denied six charges of indecent assault and two counts of sex with a girl under 16. Two victims gave evidence about incidents which took place in the 1980s. Both made complaints several years ago but were deterred from pressing on with their claims. The jury heard Noy was given a police caution several years ago for the indecent assault of a girl under 14. Prosecutor Robert Underwood, who had called Noy a ‘predatory paedophile’, said there were ‘similarities’ between the accounts of the two women and that supported their allegations. Kevin Jones, defending, said witnesses claimed Noy had a ‘distinguishing feature’ on his penis. Police called in a nurse who found no mark. “That was something Mr Noy said you could check, ‘feel free’ and they did. He is right, there is no mark,” said Mr Jones. Judge Rosalind Coe refused him bail and he is set to be sentenced tomorrow.
