Beverley Child Sexual Abuser
In March 2022, a disturbing case unfolded involving James Sole, a man from Beverley, who engaged in a series of inappropriate and criminal acts targeting a vulnerable teenage girl. The incident came to light during a court hearing at Hull Crown Court, revealing a pattern of grooming, manipulation, and sexual misconduct that spanned nearly a year.
James Sole, now 23 years old and residing on High Street in Stoke-on-Trent, had initially met the young girl through mutual friends in Beverley. The court heard that Sole exploited her mental health struggles, offering to talk and connect with her because he claimed to have experienced similar issues. Over time, their relationship deepened, but it was marked by a series of troubling behaviors that crossed legal boundaries.
According to court testimony, Sole would take the girl out on drives, often in the company of others initially, but gradually they began to spend time alone. During these outings, Sole would buy her food from McDonald's, as well as alcohol and cigarettes, which contributed to the grooming process. The court detailed that Sole's actions were aimed at establishing a sense of trust and dependency, making the girl more susceptible to his advances.
One of the most serious allegations involved an incident in December 2018, when both were intoxicated at the girl’s residence. It was during this time that Sole kissed her and inappropriately touched her by putting his hands down her trousers. The victim later stated she had no memory of the event but was informed about it the following day by Sole himself. This incident marked a significant escalation in their inappropriate relationship.
Further troubling revelations emerged when the girl confided that she had kissed another boy, prompting Sole to threaten her, saying he would
