Egham man jailed for 17 years for sexual abuse against a child
Jamie Elliott faced multiple charges following years of grooming and assaults.
A 36-year-old man from Egham has been sentenced to 17 years in prison after being found guilty of multiple sexual offences carried out over five years.
Jamie Elliott was convicted following a two-week trial at Guildford Crown Court of:
- Three counts of rape
- Two counts of sexual assault of a child under 13
- One count of assault of a child under 13 by penetration
- One count of sexual assault
- Two counts of assault by penetration
- One count of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity
The court heard that Elliott, born 12th June 1989, groomed his victim, who was known to him, by plying her with alcohol and gifts before subjecting her to repeated sexual abuse. The sustained crimes only came to light after explicit text messages were discovered on the victim’s phone.
Elliott was sentenced today (15th December) to 17 years in prison, with an additional extended term of five years on licence. He was also placed on the Sex Offenders Register for life.
Investigating officer DC Hollie Grant said: “Elliott carried out a catalogue of sustained abuse over five years, betraying his position of trust in the victim’s life to carry out these crimes.
“I hope that his time in prison will allow him the opportunity to find some remorse for his despicable actions.”
