A British businessman was sentenced for a three-day sordid encounter in Maine motel with a 13-year-old US girl he had befriended on a Harry Potter chat room while she was recovering from an illness.
Nicholas Cheese, 27, from Oxford, met the then 12-year-old in an internet chat room in 2012 and travelled to Bangor, Maine, in June last year.
He met her and had sex with her in a hotel room.
Cheese admitted a charge of producing child pornography after he recorded one of the assaults on the girl.
Initial charges from his arrest on July 1, of gross sexual assault and sexual exploitation of a minor, were dismissed in September when his case moved from state to federal court. Huh? Why?
The girl's parents reported the assaults to the authorities.
He was sentenced at U.S. District Court in Bangor to 17 years in federal prison and to five years probation upon release. The judge said that although the sex would be considered consensual if it had been between adults, he said the victim was not a '13-year-old who looked like she was 18', the Bangor Daily News reported.
He added: 'The defendant’s actions against this 13-year-old girl were unusually aggressive. In a matter of three days, he exposed her to a range of sexual experiences many adults would refuse to explore.'
During questioning Cheese admitted he had gone to Bangor to have sex with the 13-year-old, and that he had previously got her to send explicit pictures and videos to him.
The images and footage, and a sexually explicit photo taken in the motel room, were found on Cheese's cellphone, according to court documents.
Child pornography was also found on his home computer by police in the UK. It is not clear if he will face charges relating to those images.
He is expected to be deported at the end of his prison term in the U.S. OK, then what's the point of 5 years probation?
Cheese is said to have helped the girl through the illness, details of which were not revealed, then arranged to meet her while on his way to a conference in Texas.
'My daughter is more upset about what happened afterward,' said her father of Cheese’s prosecution. 'She feels like she lost her best friend.'
Please join me in praying for this young girl who has been so badly used and abused by Cheese. It's hard for a girl, barely out of her tweens, to comprehend the duplicity of some people.
