STUART KEAY SENTENCED IN WINCHESTER FOR STRING OF SEX OFFENCES AGAINST YOUNG GIRLS
Stuart Richard Keay, aged 48, of Baring Close, Itchen Abbas, was convicted on multiple serious charges related to the sexual abuse of young girls. The case, which unfolded over a three-week trial at Winchester Crown Court, revealed a disturbing pattern of misconduct spanning over two decades.Keay faced a total of 16 charges, including rape, indecent assault, inciting a child to commit an act of gross indecency, and engaging in sexual activity with a minor. The allegations involved girls aged between six and 17 years old, with incidents occurring across Winchester, Eastleigh, and Denmead from 1992 through 2018.
The trial was initiated after three victims, who endured years of abuse at Keay’s hands, came forward to police last year, providing crucial testimony that led to his prosecution. The evidence presented in court painted a harrowing picture of manipulation and exploitation by Keay, who exploited his position of trust and authority over vulnerable young girls.
Judge Jane Miller QC sentenced Keay to a lengthy term of 24 years in prison, reflecting the gravity of his crimes and the lasting impact on his victims. The case was described by Detective Constable Naomi Stocker, who led Operation Amberstone, as a significant investigation that traced Keay’s offending back to 1992 and continued until 2018, when his abusive conduct finally ceased.
Detective Stocker emphasized the courage of the victims in coming forward, stating, "This was a truly appalling case of abuse, which took place over many years. I am overwhelmed by the bravery of the victims in speaking out and reporting what had happened to them. I want to commend them and thank them for their help in convicting Keay, a very dangerous and manipulative man."
While no amount of prison time can undo the harm caused, authorities hope that this conviction provides some measure of closure for the victims and allows them to begin the process of healing and moving forward with their lives.
