A man who inflicted a series of sex offences on two child victims in Berkshire has been jailed for 11 years.
Dalton Stocker, aged 29, from Bracknell, pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault of a child and possession of prohibited images during a trial at Reading Crown Court.
In the trial, which concluded on 18 October 2024, Stocker was also found guilty by unanimous jury verdict of three counts of rape of a child, engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child, causing a child to engage in sexual activity, causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, sexual activity with a child and assault of a child by penetration.
He was also found guilty of two counts of making indecent images of a child, one of which was a category B image and nine category C images.
He was acquitted of a further count of rape, four counts of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, two counts of sexual activity with a child and one count of causing a child to watch a sexual act.
On Monday (28/4), Stocker was jailed and his name will be placed on the sex offenders’ register for life. He has also been subjected to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for life.
The devices with the indecent and prohibited images were forfeited and will be destroyed.
The offending happened in the last ten years at various locations in Berkshire, when Stocker abused two children.
Stocker gained the trust of the victims to then abuse them and were made to feel that they would be blamed if they spoke out.
Following his arrest on 12 November 2021, Stocker refused to answer any questions.
He was charged with the offences on 15 November 2023.
Police staff investigator Jemma Broderick said: “These were abhorrent acts inflicted by Stocker upon his victims over a number of years.
“The victims in this case have shown remarkable resilience and courage throughout a lengthy investigation process and subsequent trial.
“With justice finally served, I hope that they can now find some closure and move forwards with their lives.
“We are absolutely dedicated to investigating such crimes.

“We have specially trained officers who will be support you and you will be listened to. No-one should go unpunished for such crimes, and we will work tirelessly to bring offenders to justice.”
