JOHNATHON OLDLAND SENTENCED TO 17 YEARS FOR HORRIFIC CHILD RAPE IN COSHAM

In a disturbing case that has shocked the community of Cosham, Johnathon Paul Oldland, aged 34, was sentenced to a lengthy prison term after being convicted of heinous crimes involving a young girl. The proceedings took place at Portsmouth Crown Court, where Oldland was found guilty of a series of sexual offenses against a minor.

Oldland’s crimes included over fifty instances of rape and sexual assault against the young victim. The court heard that he had repeatedly assaulted the girl, with the offenses spanning a period during which she was under the age of 14. Specifically, he was convicted of two counts of sexual assault of a child under 13 and five additional counts of raping the girl when she was under 14 years old.

During the sentencing, the judge described the crimes as particularly egregious, emphasizing the repeated nature of the abuse and the profound impact on the victim. Oldland, who was employed as an office administrator for a care firm based in Hampshire, showed no remorse during the proceedings. His actions have left a lasting scar on the young girl and have caused widespread outrage within the local community.

The court sentenced Oldland to serve 17 years in a maximum-security prison. Additionally, he has been placed on the sex offender register for life, ensuring ongoing monitoring and restrictions upon his release. Once he completes his prison term, Oldland will be subject to an eight-year licence period, during which he will be closely supervised to prevent any further offenses.

This case highlights the importance of vigilance and the need for robust safeguarding measures to protect vulnerable children from predators like Oldland. The community of Cosham and the wider Hampshire area continues to grapple with the aftermath of this disturbing case, which underscores the devastating impact of child abuse and the necessity of justice.
