August 2014 Man who abused 15-year-old girl jailed A 41-year-old man who sexually abused a 15-year-old schoolgirl has been jailed for three years and seven months. Wayne Hampson, of Arnesby Crescent, Leicester, admitted three counts of sexual activity with a child, all committed on one day in August, 2012. The incidents happened at a house in Leicester when they were alone together on a sofa and inappropriate touching occurred, said Philip Gibbs, prosecuting. Leicester Crown Court was told that Hampson’s misconduct came to light when the victim’s mother saw incriminating text messages on her daughter’s phone. Paul Prior, mitigating, said: “He acted inappropriately and admits he felt some flattery by her attention and he didn’t discourage her, which was quite wrong.” Judge Philip Head said: “She initiated contact by kissing you and you took advantage of the situation. “It appears she consented, but the whole point of these offences is they’re created to protect young and impressionable girls approaching adulthood.” A sexual offences prevention order was made banning Hampson from contacting the victim or having unsupervised contact with females under 16
