Loughborough Swadlincote Child Sexual Abuser
In a disturbing case that has shocked the communities of Loughborough and Swadlincote, Kieran Carr, aged 21, was found guilty of grooming underage girls online and engaging in sexual activities with them. The incidents, which took place over social media platforms, came to light after a detailed investigation by authorities, revealing a pattern of predatory behavior that exploited vulnerable minors.
According to court proceedings at Derby Crown Court, Carr had established online contact with two underage girls, one of whom he successfully persuaded to send explicit photographs of herself. He also sent a photograph of his private parts to a different girl, further demonstrating his inappropriate and illegal conduct. The first girl, who was under 16 at the time, was coerced into sending an indecent image of her breasts after Carr befriended her online. Despite her expressing that she was “not ready” to engage in sexual activity, Carr continued to manipulate her.
Meanwhile, Carr was grooming a second victim, a girl who was also underage. He convinced her to meet him in person, and during that meeting in Swadlincote, he engaged in sexual activity with her on four separate occasions within a single evening. The girl, who was a virgin before the incident, told the court that she had informed her mother she was staying at a friend’s house, but instead, she went to meet Carr. She explained that she felt trapped because she had lied to her mother and felt unable to leave the situation.
The prosecution, led by Sarah Allen, detailed how Carr’s online interactions began on Facebook, where he started exchanging messages with the girls. He complimented the first girl, calling her beautiful, and continued to send explicit images, including the one of his private parts. He also inquired about her underwear, to which she responded that she did not own any lacy underwear and was under 16. The girl’s behavior changed noticeably, prompting her school to notice and alert the authorities.
Further investigation uncovered that Carr had also attempted to groom a second underage girl. When she refused to meet him after he sent her a similar explicit image, Carr’s behavior turned aggressive and hostile. The offences related to these incidents occurred in 2017. Carr initially denied the allegations but later pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including sexual activity with a child, meeting a child following grooming, engaging in sexual communication with a child, and possession of an indecent image.
Judge Shaun Smith QC sentenced Carr to a two-year prison term, which was suspended for two years. In addition to the suspended sentence, Carr was ordered to complete 240 hours of unpaid community work, adhere to a six-month curfew, and undertake 30 days of rehabilitation supervised by the probation service. The judge also imposed a 10-year sexual harm prevention order and mandated that Carr register as a sex offender for the same period. Judge Smith emphasized that Carr was assessed as a low risk of re-offending by both a psychiatrist and a psychologist, and that the probation service believed he was capable of rehabilitation within the community.
