A Chesterfield man has been handed a ten year prison term fo sexual offences against a child, as well as rape and coercive control against a woman.
22 year old Danny Hailes, of Heather Vale Road in Hasland, first came to the attention of police after the school of a teenage girl raised concerns about him.
He was found guilty of sexual activity with a child, sexual communication with a child, threatening to disclose private sexual photographs with intent to cause distress, and stalking involving fear of violence, against a girl in her early teens.
He was also arrested when he was reported by a woman who alleged he was coercive and controlling towards her, and went on the rape her.
Hailes will be placed on the Sex Offenders’ Register and the Child’s Barred List, which means he can be prevented from working with children.
One of the officers working on the case, Detective Constable Matt Charlesworth of Derbyshire Police, said:
“I would like to commend the victims in this case for their bravery in coming forwards and giving evidence in court regarding the horrific crimes they have been subjected to at the hands of such a dangerous, manipulative and controlling individual.
“I also wish to publicly extend my thanks to other witnesses who put their own anxieties and fears to one side, by providing evidence and making an invaluable contribution to securing his conviction.
“Whilst I am sure no sentence can offer suitable redress for the level of trauma Hailes has caused, I do hope that this outcome goes at least some way towards allowing all those affected by his actions the opportunity for some form of closure”.
