RAPPER AVOIDS LONG PRISON SENTENCE AFTER SEXUAL ASSAULT ON SCHOOLGIRL
A ‘rapper’ has avoided prison after trying to force a schoolgirl to give him oral sex.Kyle St Hilaire, who has rap music videos on YouTube under the stage name Future, attempted to make the 15-year-old masturbate and perform oral sex on him in a secluded woodland during her school’s lunch break in February last year.
Last month, a jury acquitted him of having unprotected sex with another 15-year-old girl in the woods and in a flat.
Now, the 24-year-old of Thorpe Lane in Almondbury has been sentenced for the sexual assault on the girl who was wearing her school uniform.
Prosecutor Michael Greenhalgh said the defendant took two girls into the woods, gave them cannabis, and asked if they were virgins.
He then asked the girls to perform oral sex and attempted to force the eldest girl’s head and hands towards his penis.
The court was told the victim, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, reported the incident back at school, and she remains disturbed, struggling with public interactions and sleep one year later.
Mitigating, Anastasis Tassou stated that his client had already spent seven months in custody, which is equivalent to a 14-month sentence, usually halved.
In October last year, St Hilaire pleaded guilty to sexual assault of a child under 16 and inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
He was handed a two-year community order, and the judge emphasized the need for re-education, highlighting his attraction to girls aged 14, 15, and 16.
The court also imposed a five-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order banning contact with females under 16 and disqualifying him from working with children.
The judge warned him: “You were very fortunate at the trial.
Had you been convicted of those offences, you would have been going to prison for a very long time.”
