In a disturbing case that has shocked the community of Waterlooville, Paul Abbinnett, aged 38, is facing a potential prison sentence after being found guilty of engaging in sexual activity with a young girl. The incident, which occurred over a span of several years from 2013 to 2019, involved a girl under the age of 13 and has left lasting physical and emotional scars.

Abbinnett, a resident of Oracle Drive in Waterlooville, was convicted by a jury at Portsmouth Crown Court of one count of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity. The court proceedings revealed the extent of the abuse and the profound impact it has had on the victim’s life.

Following the verdict, a statement was issued by the victim’s family, expressing their anguish and the devastating consequences of Abbinnett’s actions. They stated, “He took the innocence from a child and turned her life upside down. He controlled and manipulated her and caused a lot of damage.”

The family further described the ongoing suffering endured by the young girl, noting that she has struggled with self-harm, low self-esteem, depression, and anxiety as a direct result of the trauma inflicted upon her. They emphasized that the scars—both physical and emotional—will never fully heal, underscoring the lasting damage caused by Abbinnett’s misconduct.

The trial also highlighted the emotional toll on the victim, described as a “caring and loving young lady,” who was left deeply upset by the proceedings. The court has scheduled Abbinnett’s sentencing for October 27, where he faces the possibility of a lengthy prison term for his actions that have forever altered the life of a young girl from Waterlooville.
