A north Devon man has been jailed for sexually abusing three children over a three year period.

Dale Padmore was found guilty of six counts of sexual activity with a child on Monday (24 May) following a trial at Exeter Crown Court.

The 22-year-old, of Belvedere Road, Ilfracombe, sexually assaulted the three victims between 2014 and 2017.

He was given two-years behind bars, a 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order and placed on the sex offender register for 10 years.

He is also subject to a restraining order forbidding any contact with one of the victims for 10 years.

Detective Constable Nick Rowell was the officer in the case. He said:

“Despite committing these crimes, Padmore tried to maintain his innocence.

“However, I am pleased he has been brought to justice and I hope each of the three victims can take some relief from that, which will allow them to move on with their lives.”
