    GORDON HUNTER AND SEXUAL ABUSE IN NEW FOREST AND WINCHESTER

    A former police officer who once served as a village policeman has been convicted of multiple serious sexual offenses against two underage boys during his time working for Hampshire Constabulary. The courtroom in Winchester Crown Court was the setting for a tragic and disturbing case where Gordon Hunter, who demonstrated no emotion as the verdicts were delivered, was found guilty on all 14 charges he faced. These charges included grave offenses such as gross indecency with a minor and attempted buggery, crimes that have shocked the local community.

    As the jury returned their verdicts, a woman present in the public gallery, believed to be related to one of the victims’ families, quietly responded with a simple, yet powerful, “Yes.” The details of the case emerged clearly during the proceedings, revealing the horrifying extent of Hunter’s misconduct over a span of more than a decade. The court was informed that Hunter and his wife, Gill, had recently attempted to take their own lives just days before the verdicts were read. This distressing revelation came to light during the hearing, as it was disclosed that the couple, who had been married for four decades, made a suicide attempt at their residence in Dene Way, Ashurst, within the New Forest area.

    Paramedics intervened, transporting Hunter and his wife to the hospital with unspecified injuries. Hunter, notably, was absent from court proceedings on Friday and Monday but was present on the day the verdicts were announced. Following a six-and-a-half-hour jury deliberation, all twelve jurors unanimously convicted Hunter. The judge, Andrew Barnett, lifted a prior court order that barred publication of the details surrounding the couple’s joint suicide attempt after the verdict. Members of Hunter’s family, including his son, his brother-in-law, along with friends, were present in the courtroom to witness the judgment.

    Due to concerns for his safety, Judge Barnett ordered Hunter to be remanded into custody until his sentencing scheduled for the following month. The judge emphasized the gravity of the charges, stating, “You have been convicted by the jury of 14 extremely serious offences against young teenage boys. Be under no illusion that the inevitable sentence is one of imprisonment and you must prepare yourself for that.” The judge also acknowledged Hunter’s recent suicide attempt, indicating that his well-being needed to be carefully considered in the decision to remand him.

    During the five-day trial, a disturbing pattern of abuse was laid bare. It was revealed that Hunter had assaulted the victims in different locations across Hampshire between the years 1987 and 1998. The first victim, an 11-year-old boy at the time, was abused while Hunter was serving as a village policeman in Whitchurch, a northern area of the county, between 1983 and 1992. Hunter’s abuse reportedly began when he invited the young boy into his home and partook in various sex acts, some occurring within Hunter’s own family residence, with even some offenses taking place in his marital bed.

    After moving to Ashurst in the New Forest in 1992, Hunter targeted another boy in 1995, who is also protected by legal restrictions on naming. Hunter’s career in policing ended in 2002 when he retired as a police constable, but he remained employed in various support roles, including as a detention officer in Eastleigh. His support staff role at Lyndhurst ended in October 2009, shortly before he was arrested later that month by officers from Hampshire Constabulary’s professional standards department.

    Throughout the legal process, Hunter maintained his innocence, denying all charges. He was subsequently placed on the sex offender register, reflecting the severity of his crimes and ensuring ongoing monitoring. The case has left a profound impact on the victims, their families, and the wider community in the New Forest and Winchester areas, raising serious concerns about safeguarding and the conduct of those who serve in public positions of trust.
