    STEPHEN STUCKLE SENTENCED TO 20 YEARS FOR ABUSE IN CIRENCESTER AND THE COTSWOLDS

    In June 2022, a man from the Cotswolds, identified as Stephen Stuckle, was handed a severe prison sentence after being convicted of multiple heinous sexual offenses involving vulnerable young females. The case, heard at Gloucester Crown Court, revealed a disturbing pattern of predatory behavior spanning over two decades, targeting victims based on their age, mental health, and emotional fragility.

    Judge Ian Lawrie QC addressed the court, emphasizing the disturbing persistence of Stuckle’s misconduct. He stated that the hallmark of Stuckle’s offending was his relentless targeting of three highly vulnerable young women, each suffering from various degrees of emotional and psychological challenges. The judge expressed clear disapproval of Stuckle’s calculated approach, noting that the offender deliberately sought out opportunities to exploit these victims’ vulnerabilities.

    The prosecution, led by Robin Shellard, outlined the details of the case, which involved three separate victims, each with different circumstances that made them susceptible to abuse. The investigation was initiated in July 2019 after one victim reported her ordeal, setting in motion a comprehensive inquiry into Stuckle’s past.

    The first victim, known as Victim A, was only 13 years old at the time of the assaults. She was diagnosed with several developmental and behavioral disorders, including high-functioning autism, hypersensitivity, and coordination issues. Her relationship with Stuckle began in 2016, and it was during a camping trip in 2019 that she disclosed her abuse. She revealed to a youth support worker that Stuckle had sexually assaulted her during a camping trip three years earlier. The girl described how Stuckle would initiate 'tickle fights' that started innocently but gradually became sexualized. She recounted that during these episodes, her bra would be removed, and she would feel increasingly uncomfortable. Despite her attempts to resist and sleep separately, she was eventually subjected to inappropriate touching, including hands in her pyjama bottoms. The girl’s mother was informed, and the victim described how Stuckle’s behavior escalated from playful tickling to sexual assault, including removing her bra and engaging in non-consensual touching.

    Stuckle was apprehended at a campsite in Devon in July 2019. During a search of his phone, police discovered four videos, two of which featured Victim A. One video showed her drying her legs, with her telling Stuckle to 'stop,' while another was a close-up of her legs. These findings prompted a deeper investigation into Stuckle’s history, uncovering two additional victims.

    The second victim, Victim B, was a young woman living in supported accommodation in Bristol in 2017. She was diagnosed with emotional instability and autism spectrum disorder, having spent time in various institutions. At the time, Stuckle was employed as a security guard at Southmead Hospital. Their paths crossed when she was receiving treatment for self-harm and suicidal attempts. She first met Stuckle at the hospital’s accident and emergency department, where he was assigned to prevent her from absconding. She later confided in him during crisis moments, including in a multi-storey car park, where he expressed understanding of her mental health struggles. Over time, she gave him her phone number, seeking companionship due to her feelings of loneliness and lack of support.

    Stuckle continued to contact her via text messages, and their relationship progressed to private meetings. On one occasion, he persuaded her to enter a locked building on hospital grounds, where he sexually assaulted her. She described how he touched her all over and inserted his fingers into her private parts, despite her attempts to pull away. She experienced a dissociative state during the assault, and her shock was evident when she was later picked up from the hospital, visibly confused and in shock. Despite the abuse, Stuckle maintained contact, sending her demanding messages, which further confused her and led to more encounters, including a repeated sexual assault in the same hospital room. It was later revealed that Stuckle was married, a fact that the victim discovered, adding to her sense of betrayal. Concerns about her exploitation prompted an investigation, and the victim disclosed her experiences to a mental health nurse, leading to social care intervention. Stuckle’s employment was terminated for gross misconduct after disciplinary proceedings.

    The third victim, Victim C, was between nine and ten years old when she was first sexually assaulted by Stuckle, who touched her private area with his penis. She was around 16 when he raped her again outside the UK jurisdiction. Now in her 30s, Victim C suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and has recounted two separate timelines of abuse. As a young child, she confided in a neighbor about her experiences, which her mother was later informed of. She revealed that Stuckle had touched her in her vaginal area multiple times and forced her to perform oral sex, leading to rape. She described how she has blocked out much of this period but remembers the trauma vividly. Her account was corroborated by police investigations, which confirmed the abuse, although initial evidence was limited due to her distress and memory gaps.

    Stuckle’s background includes service with the Royal Corps of Transport in Aldershot in 1998. Throughout his life, he maintained employment, including his role as a security guard. While in custody awaiting sentencing, he achieved enhanced status in prison. He pleaded guilty to eight charges, including rape and sexual assault of children, covering offenses committed between 1996 and 2016.

    During sentencing, Judge Lawrie highlighted the gravity of Stuckle’s crimes, emphasizing that he targeted victims who were unable to defend themselves or report the abuse. The judge condemned the offender’s breach of trust, especially in the case of Victim A, where the abuse was perpetrated by someone in a position of authority. The judge noted the long-lasting emotional and psychological damage inflicted on the victims, which would likely persist for years.

    Stuckle expressed remorse during a pre-sentence interview, stating he 'hates himself for what he has put the girls through,' but also attempted to minimize his responsibility by denying malicious intent. The judge found his remorse insincere and sentenced him to 20 years in prison, the minimum custodial term justified by the severity of his offenses. Additionally, Stuckle was placed on the sex offenders register for life and subjected to a lifelong sexual harm prevention order, ensuring ongoing monitoring and restrictions to protect the public from further harm.
