A 25-year-old New Milton Paedophile, Jack William Fry, has been imprisoned for seven and a half years for sexually assaulting a minor under the age of thirteen.
Jack William Fry of Gore Road was sentenced at Southampton Crown Court today, Wednesday, 17 July.
March 2024 saw the offences for which he had earlier entered a guilty plea and subsequently been imprisoned taken occurred.
Jack William Fry will also serve a 12-month extended period of supervision after his release from prison and be subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
“I am so pleased for the young victim in this case that justice has now been served for them and their family, and that Jack William Fry has now been placed behind bars, where he belongs,” Child Abuse Investigation Team detective Constable David Sloan said.
“I would also want to note on record my compliments for the young victim in this case and their bravery and tenacity overall.
“Also, I want to thank everyone who has worked on this matter to help guarantee today’s result.
“Their help and diligence have guaranteed a conviction within two weeks of the report being delivered to us and a sentence within four months.
“Although I know this outcome won’t clear the victim and family of the memory of what Jack William Fry did, I hope it lets them go ahead safe in the knowledge that he can no longer damage any other children.
“I also hope this punishment will reassure other victims that they will be heard to when they disclose like events to us.
“We invite other victims to come forward and speak with us. We aggressively seek to bring perpetrators to justice and take claims of this kind very seriously.
“This should also be a clear message to other offenders that we will always work relentlessly to ensure you are brought to justice.
“I also want to thank everyone who helped secure this conviction and sentence.”
