| Red Rose Database
Scunthorpe Child Sexual Abuser
In December 2008, Norman Frost, a 59-year-old resident of Kathleen Avenue in Scunthorpe, was brought before Grimsby Crown Court to face sentencing after admitting to a serious sexual offence involving a minor. The incident involved Frost engaging in inappropriate physical contact with a 13-year-old girl, an act that has prompted significant concern and legal action.
Prosecutor Caroline Wigin outlined the details of the case, emphasizing that Frost has a history of similar convictions dating back to 1982. Despite the age of his previous offenses, the court was informed that Frost’s latest misconduct was of a comparable nature, raising alarm about his ongoing risk to the community.
During the hearing, Judge Graham Robinson carefully considered the circumstances and the legal implications. He noted that imposing an immediate custodial sentence might lead to an appeal, given the legal precedents and the specifics of the case. Recognizing the importance of both punishment and protection, the judge decided against immediate imprisonment.
Instead, Frost was sentenced to a three-year community supervision order. This order requires him to participate in a sex offenders’ treatment program and to reside at a location designated by probation services for a period of six months. The court also imposed restrictions on Frost’s living arrangements, explicitly prohibiting him from staying in any household where a child under the age of 16 is present. This restriction is set to remain in effect for three years.
Furthermore, Frost was subjected to a lifetime ban from working with children, a measure aimed at preventing any future harm. He was also ordered to register as a sex offender for the next five years, ensuring ongoing monitoring and community safety.
Details of the offence reveal that the crime occurred on June 6, when Frost was staying at an address where the victim was present. According to the prosecution, Frost approached the young girl while she was sitting on a sofa, kissed her on the neck and torso, and then touched one of her breasts over her clothing, actions that constitute serious sexual misconduct.
In his defense, Gordon Stables, representing Frost, explained that the defendant had recently been made redundant from his job as an HGV driver. He requested that the court consider a community sentence, emphasizing Frost’s employment status and the need for rehabilitation rather than incarceration. The court’s decision reflects a careful balance between punishing Frost for his actions and implementing measures to prevent future offenses, prioritizing community safety and the protection of vulnerable individuals.
