    EUGENE MOLLOY FROM FILEY SENTENCED FOR GROOMING AND RAPE OF TEEN GIRLS IN PRESTON AND WEST YORKSHIRE

    In a case that has shocked the local communities, Eugene Molloy, a 48-year-old man from Filey, was today sentenced to an indefinite period of imprisonment for his heinous crimes involving the manipulation and sexual assault of two teenage girls. The court heard how Molloy, employing a calculated and devious approach, lured the victims into a web of deception that spanned over a year, exploiting their trust and naivety.

    According to Preston Crown Court, Molloy initially targeted two girls aged 14 and 15 from the Preston area through an online platform called Luna Storm. Using social networking sites and instant messaging services like MSN, he established contact with them, gradually grooming them over a period of six to twelve months. His method involved creating a fictitious persona, 'Deano,' a young man from the West Midlands, whose photograph he used to portray himself as a good-looking young man. This false identity was instrumental in gaining the girls’ confidence and affection.

    As the grooming progressed, Molloy pretended to be Deano’s father, fabricating stories about his son being hospitalized and threatening to harm him if the girls did not comply with his demands. The court was told that Molloy’s manipulative tactics extended to phone calls, where he impersonated Deano and his father, further convincing the girls that they were involved in a real and dangerous situation. The victims believed they were protecting Deano from harm, which led to them engaging in sexual acts with Molloy, believing they were doing so to save the young man they thought they loved.

    On Valentine’s Day 2007, Molloy met his first victim in person, claiming to be Deano’s father. He lied about Deano being in the hospital and presented himself as a caring figure, which was part of his calculated grooming process. Over the following months, Molloy coerced the first girl into having sex with him, taking indecent photographs and using blackmail by threatening to show these images to her parents if she refused. He also hacked into her MSN profile and sent abusive messages to her friends, further isolating her from her support network. Between January 2007 and July 2008, she was raped on 15 separate occasions.

    The second victim was targeted shortly after Molloy’s release on bail, just seven days following his arrest of the first girl. Under the guise of Deano’s father, he threatened her with violence against Deano if she did not comply. Persuading her to give him sexual favors, Molloy took her to a hotel in Shipley, West Yorkshire, where he sexually abused her over a period of up to four days, even in the presence of his nephew. When she attempted to meet him again in Leeds, police intervened, and Molloy convinced her they needed to flee to Ireland for their safety. He abandoned her en route to Scotland, hitchhiking to Stranraer and then taking a ferry alone to Belfast. He was finally arrested in Northern Ireland three weeks later.

    During the trial at Preston Crown Court, Molloy initially faced seven counts of rape but changed his plea to guilty on the second day of proceedings before any evidence was presented. Despite attempts to alter his plea again, the court refused permission after further evidence was heard. Judge Edward Slinger sentenced Molloy to a minimum of eight years in prison for public protection, emphasizing the calculated nature of his crimes and the manipulation involved. Molloy was also ordered to register as a sex offender for life and was banned from working with children. His release would only be possible if the Parole Board determines he no longer poses a danger to the public.

    Prosecutor Nick Kennedy highlighted how Molloy’s web of lies and deception effectively entrapped the victims, exploiting their naivety and gullibility for his own sexual gratification. Victims’ statements revealed the profound and lasting impact of his actions; the first girl, a virgin at the time, expressed her fear that Molloy would reappear in her life, warning that he had told her he would always be the winner if she told anyone. The second girl shared her feelings of lost trust, fears for her safety, and her self-harm incidents since the assault.

    Defence lawyer Mark Styles acknowledged Molloy’s lack of previous convictions and his 16 years of service in the armed forces, where his conduct was described as 'very good.' However, Judge Slinger underscored the importance of sending a strong message against older men preying on young girls via the internet, condemning Molloy’s actions as deeply damaging. The judge noted the significant trauma inflicted on the victims and their families, emphasizing that their lives would likely be affected permanently. He urged that they should not blame themselves and expressed hope that they could begin to move past this dreadful chapter, despite the immense difficulties they face in doing so.
