Tidworth man jailed for sex offences
Frederick Allard abused his position as a landlord to target vulnerable women
A Tidworth man has been jailed for more than two years for sexual offences.
73 year old Frederick Allard, from Nepaul Road, has been sentenced at Winchester Crown Court, after being found guilty of sexual assault and causing or inciting prostitution.
Police say he abused his position as a landlord to prey on vulnerable women.
All the offences took place between February 2019 and January 2023.
Allard have been given a 30 month prison term.
Complex Crime Investigator Elly Moxom said:
"The victims in this case, contacted Wiltshire Police following encounters with Tidworth landlord Frederick Allard. After enquiring about rooms to rent within Mr Allard's property, they were subjected to sexual assault, and grossly inappropriate and offensive behaviour from him, including requests of performing sex acts in exchange for a reduced rate of rent.
"Allard's actions had a significant impact on the female victims who all showed bravery and resilience throughout the investigation and trial.
"Wiltshire Police wish to send a strong message to those who perpetrate harm to women and girls. We will show zero tolerance to crimes like those committed by Mr Allard who sought to exploit perceived vulnerabilities in his victims for sexual gratification."
DS Toni Nugent, who worked on the case said:
“It is very important that victims contact the police and report this sort of behaviour, it will not be tolerated and we have dedicated investigators who strive to get justice for any victims of crime.
"This was a complex investigation which has been concluded to a successful outcome.”
