I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Sexual Offences, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey. A 25-year-old man from Lymington has been jailed for 24 years for child sex offences against two children, including the rape of a girl aged under 13.
Jimmy Fisher, of Efford way, Lymington, who pleaded guilty to the charges against him at Southampton Crown Court on Friday 15 May, was sentenced at the same court on Monday (6 July).
The offences took place between 2020 and 2025. As well as the time Fisher will now serve in prison, Fisher also been given an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order and ordered to sign the Sex Offenders Register for life.
Additionally, he was handed a deprivation order for the devices seized from him and has been barred from ever working with children and vulnerable adults.
Fisher will only become eligible for a release on a six-year licence after serving 18 years in prison.
In addition to the above offence, Fisher was also sentenced for rape, attempted rape, sexual activity with a child and taking, making and possessing indecent photographs of a child.
PC Rhiannon Winstanley, of the Child Abuse Investigation Team, said: “I would like to place on record my praise and admiration for the young victims in this case and the courage and determination they have shown throughout.
“While I know this result alone will never erase the memories of what happened to them, I truly hope it allows them, and their families, to move forward with their lives, safe in the knowledge that Fisher is now being punished for his crimes and can no longer harm any other innocent child.
“These were unimaginable crimes, but thanks to the bravery of the victims and their determination to see justice served, all children are now that much safer with him locked away.”
