Man jailed for child sex offences in Dacorum
He has been sentenced to three years in prison
Jermaine Fraser, has been sentenced to to three years for one count of causing/inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and 16 months for one count of sexual communication with a child, to run concurrently.
The 26-year-old, formerly of Cardozo Road in Holloway, London, had previously pleaded guilty to sexual communication with a child and causing/inciting a child to engage in sexual activity between October and November 2017.
Fraser, was aged 23 at the time and on remand in a prison outside Hertfordshire for unrelated offences when he was recorded having sexually-explicit telephone conversations with a vulnerable teenage girl from Hemel Hempstead.
He must also abide by the terms of a ten-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order, and in addition he will be placed on the Sex Offenders’ Register for life.
Detective Constable Ayodeji Afolabi, from Hertfordshire Constabulary’s Halo team*, investigated the case said:
“Fraser had the audacity to contact the victim for his own sexual gratification, despite knowing she was underage and that his conversations were being recorded.
“He has shown himself to be a danger to young girls and will continue to be monitored very closely while he serves his custodial sentence to ensure he does not abuse anyone else.
“Child sexual exploitation is a very challenging crime to investigate, as often the victims do not see themselves this way, but this type of abuse can have an impact into adulthood. In Hertfordshire, the safety of children is paramount in all we do, and we are dedicated to bringing offenders like Fraser to justice.”
