CHEPSTOW PAEDOPHILE ABDUCTED AND RAPED 14-YEAR-OLD GIRL
A paedophile who raped a girl after abducting her and taking her to an “isolated spot” in the countryside has been jailed for 12 years.Andrew Wisbey, from Chepstow, was 22 when he carried out his offences in 2021 which left his 14-year-old victim “crying and hysterical”.
The defendant was found guilty by a jury after a trial and had denied any wrongdoing.
The judge, Recorder Andrew Hammond, told Wisbey: “You asked her repeatedly for sex but she refused.
She described the panic she felt – she was frightened and she repeatedly told you to stop.
She was left crying and hysterical – you told her to sort herself out.
In her victim impact statement, she says she has nightmares at least three times a week and describes being angry all the time.
It’s apparent to me her teenage years have been dominated by the suffering you inflicted on her.
She has suffered an extreme level of psychological harm.
The judge also noted that it took the police five years from the time the complainant came forward to conviction, which he found “deeply concerning”.
Nigel Fryer for Wisbey mentioned that his client has no previous convictions and has not reoffended since 2021.
He asked for consideration of the defendant’s young age and “immaturity” at the time.
At Cardiff Crown Court, Wisbey, now aged 27 and living at Oak Close, Bulwark, was sentenced to nine years in prison with an extended license period of three years.
He is required to serve two-thirds of his sentence before parole, must register as a sex offender for life, and is subject to an indefinite sexual harm prevention order.
Wisbey will also pay a victim surcharge.
Gwent Police have been asked to provide a custody photo of him.
