Sevenoaks child sex offender jailed for almost 20 years

A child sex offender from Sevenoaks has been jailed for almost 20 years.

Karl Fisher committed a number of offences between 2018 and 2022.

Fisher was sentenced to 19 and a half years in prison.

Kent police say "he subjected his young victim to repeated and systematic abuse, which included incidents when he would make them wear an eye mask, as well as headphones playing loud music."

Leading the case was Detective Constable Amy Mulrey, of the West Kent Child Protection Team, who said:

‘Fisher is a depraved individual responsible for appalling abuse over several years. He is a dangerous, calculated and callous sexual predator who hasn’t shown a glimmer of remorse and has instead sought to apportion blame upon others and forced the victim and their family to endure a trial.‘The damage offenders like Fisher cause is incalculable, but the victim has shown enormous courage to come forward and ensure he has now been punished. 'I do hope they can now move forward from this, reassured he will be serving a lengthy prison sentence and that importantly he no longer poses a threat to any other child’.
