An Eastbourne Paedophile, Paul Aucock, raped two young children mere months following his premature release from incarceration for rape.
Paul Aucock, 36, completed less than 18 months of a 30-month sentence for the rape of a lady in 2004 and was still on licence when he began to abuse a 13-year-old girl in 2006.
The assault persisted for two years, after which he engaged in sexual intercourse with a 15-year-old girl, who asserted that it was non-consensual.
Yesterday, Judge Anthony Guy, who incarcerated him in 2004, remanded him to prison, stating that he would serve a minimum of four years before being eligible for parole consideration.
However, his victims, present at Lewes Crown Court for yesterday’s hearing, condemned the penalties and advocated for stringent new legislation to safeguard the public from known sex offenders.
The distraught rape victim stated, “I am exceedingly angry; that is insufficient.” He served under two years for his actions against me and subsequently victimised two innocent girls upon his release, evading the oversight of the probation agencies tasked with monitoring him.
“Paul Aucock is a cunning, perilous individual adept at manipulating the system.” The judge was constrained and imposed the maximum permissible penalty. However, that individual could be released in under four years and may reoffend.
Paul Aucock, an unemployed drifter from Eastbourne, confessed to five counts of sexual assault against a minor between 2006 and 2009, as well as engaging in sexual intercourse with a 15-year-old in 2009.
The court was informed that he was registered on the Sexual Offences Register and mandated to participate in a relapse prevention program upon his early release on license from his rape sentence in 2006.
Paul Aucock was mandated to notify the police of any change of residence as he relocated throughout the country.
The court was informed that probation services expressed disappointment on his failure to complete the relapse prevention course.
He subsequently informed them that he believed he had not committed any wrongdoing.
Judge Guy stated, “You did not fulfil the requirements of the relapse prevention program.” During the group work, your conduct was criminal.
I am fully convinced that you present a considerable danger of perpetrating other offences. I would have mandated a 12-year jail sentence. “I commend you for your guilty plea, resulting in a reduction of your sentence from twelve to eight years.”
He stated that Paul Aucock would serve four years prior to eligibility for parole, but would be subjected to an indefinite Sex Offenders Prevention Order prohibiting unsupervised contact with any female aged 11 to 16, and would be barred from employment involving young individuals.
A representative from Victim Support stated: “Adequate safeguards must be implemented and adhered to upon an individual’s release from prison, including measures for monitoring and supervising early releases to mitigate the risk of recidivism.”
