    ROBERT DOUGLAS FROM BIRKENHEAD SENTENCED TO 20 YEARS FOR ABUSE OF YOUNG GIRL

    In a case that has shocked the local community, Robert Douglas, an 81-year-old man from Birkenhead, was sentenced to a lengthy prison term of 20 years for a series of heinous sexual offenses committed against a vulnerable young girl. The crimes, which spanned several years, involved repeated acts of rape and sexual abuse that left a lasting scar on the victim's life.

    During the proceedings at Liverpool Crown Court, it was made clear that due to Douglas’s advanced age and deteriorating health, he is highly likely to spend the remainder of his life behind bars. The court heard that Douglas, who resides at Eastham House on Eastham Road in Eastham, denied all 16 charges brought against him. However, Judge Robert Trevor-Jones emphasized the emotional toll that the trial placed on the victim, stating that her testimony required her to relive her traumatic experiences and was unfairly branded as a liar by the defendant.

    The young girl, whose identity is protected for legal reasons, was between the ages of 10 and 15 when Douglas began abusing her. Her academic performance, which had been promising, deteriorated significantly following the abuse, illustrating the profound impact of his actions. The judge remarked that the victim paid a heavy price for Douglas’s misconduct, noting, “That was the price she had to pay for the abuse at your hands. Basically, you corrupted her from a very early age and blighted her life from then on.”

    It was revealed that Douglas initially appeared to be kind and caring towards the girl, which he used as a grooming tactic to gain her trust. The judge described this initial kindness as seemingly innocent, but warned that it was a calculated prelude to the escalating abuse. The court heard that Douglas’s offending behavior quickly intensified, culminating in multiple instances of rape. The victim provided a harrowing account of how these experiences affected her, describing the emotional and psychological scars left by Douglas’s actions.

    During the trial, a jury composed of four women and eight men was informed that Douglas’s abuse began when the girl was just 10 years old. The first incident involved him raping her and giving her a pound coin as a disturbing token of his control. Over the years, Douglas continued to groom her, providing money and purchasing clothes for her during her teenage years, further manipulating and exploiting her vulnerability. The court heard that many of the charges involved multiple incidents, highlighting the extent and persistence of his offending.

    Prosecutor Arthur Gibson detailed that these crimes took place over two decades ago when Douglas was living in Wirral, working as a mechanical engineer. Despite his profession, his actions betrayed a complete disregard for the victim’s well-being. The court also ordered Douglas to serve an additional year on license and mandated that he register as a sex offender for life, underscoring the severity of his crimes and the ongoing risk he poses to the community.
