More grooming...

[Guest]

A 57 year old Coventry man has today-Tuesday 13 December been found guilty of a number of sex offences involving children.

Thomas Mitchell from Hillfields was found guilty of 15 sex offences including sexual activity and sexual grooming involving children, following a trial at Coventry Crown Court.

He had already pleaded guilty to seven offences of possession and distributing indecent images of children.

He was found not guilty of three offences including one count of rape, one count of incitement to rape and one count of sexual activity with a child.

Mitchell will be sentenced at a later date pending reports.

He was arrested in August 2010 and charged following police examination of his computers, phones and videos.

There were a number of victims located, aged between 12-16, all boys from across the Midlands area.

DI Chris Hanson from Coventry's Public Protection Unit said: " Officers found harrowing images on Mitchell's computer, phone and video equipment of sexual abuse being committed by the offender on children. It is believed he targeted vulnerable youngsters and subjected them to physical and sexual abuse before blackmailing his victims."

He added: "It is clear Mitchell is a sadist and very dangerous person. We would like to thank the young victims for their bravery in disclosing the dreadful abuse they suffered. This was a traumatic and difficult investigation for all concerned, including the officers who dealt with it."

Guilt and shame. Something commonly felt by young people who are abused.

No it doesn't, it's another consequence of the abuse...and in some cases the worst one.

One that can often lead to suicidal thoughts in the victim.

if the guilt and shame is sufficient to make someone surrender to blackmail
and therefore not impart essential information
that would,essentially,avert further abuse


then,of course it empowers them

Apologies for not being clear. I was responding to your comment that it "doesn't really solve anything."

I agree that it empowers the abuser.
