A man from Swindon has been found guilty of child sexual assault offences over a six year period.

27 year-old Damian Kinston, of Spring Close, was found guilty after a trial at Swindon Crown Court of various offences.

The offences happened between 2015 and 2021.

Kinston is due to be sentenced in November.

Police Sergeant Vaughan said: “Firstly, I want to praise the victim for the courage that they have shown throughout this investigation, particularly giving her young age.

“Kinston is clearly a sexual predator, whose only interest is to fulfil his own sexual gratification. He showed no regard for the victim and even when faced with all the evidence against him, he refused to plead guilty to any of the charges against him.

“Instead, he forced his victim to relive their experiences in court, which could not have been easy for them.

“Thankfully, as a result of the bravery of the victim, and the evidence we gathered, the jury have seen through his lies, and he is now being held accountable for his actions."
