Redditch Child Sexual Abuser
In a significant case that has shocked the community of Redditch, a pensioner named Raymon Coburn has been handed a lengthy prison sentence of 25 years after being convicted of multiple historic sexual offences against children. The conviction was secured at Worcester Crown Court on Friday, January 23, following a detailed trial that uncovered the extent of Coburn's disturbing actions.
Raymon Coburn, aged 70 and residing on Greystone Close in the Church Hill area of Redditch, faced a total of 17 charges. These included serious allegations such as engaging in sexual intercourse with a girl under the age of 13 and attempting to have sexual intercourse with another girl under 13. The court also found him guilty of four counts of gross indecency with a child under 14, alongside 11 additional charges related to indecent assaults on a female victim.
It was revealed during the proceedings that Coburn had a prior conviction related to the possession of indecent images of children, indicating a troubling pattern of predatory behavior. The offences spanned a period from 1974 to 1994, during which Coburn systematically groomed vulnerable young victims within the Redditch area. His actions involved manipulating and coercing these children into performing various sex acts upon him, exploiting their innocence and trust.
Remarkably, the three victims involved in this case came forward independently of each other, demonstrating immense courage in sharing their traumatic experiences. They were not known to one another, which underscores the widespread impact of Coburn’s predatory conduct over the years.
Detective Sergeant Lindsey Coleman of West Mercia Police commented on the case, emphasizing the gravity of Coburn’s crimes. She stated, “The length of the sentence passed reflects the severity of Coburn’s crimes against children over a number of decades. He preyed upon the vulnerability of his victims, and it is a testament to their courage that justice has finally been served.”
Sergeant Coleman also expressed hope that the lengthy imprisonment would serve as some form of closure for the victims, aiding them in their journey to rebuild their lives. She praised their bravery and thanked the witnesses whose testimonies were instrumental in securing the conviction, ensuring that Coburn would spend many years behind bars for his heinous actions.
