Married teaching assistant, 50, who repeatedly had sex with a 15-year-old girl and sent her naked photos is jailed for two years as judge slams him for 'depriving young girl of her childhood'

A married teaching assistant who had sex with a 15-year-old girl has been jailed for two years and eight months.

Richard Perrin, 50, also sent naked photographs of himself to the victim before his arrest in June, Worcester Crown Court was told.

Perrin, formerly of Canon Frome, Ledbury, Herefordshire, and now listed in court documents as being of no fixed address, showed little emotion as he appeared in court for sentencing from HMP Hewell in north Worcestershire.

Recorder Sandeep Kainth said Perrin had 'deprived the young girl of her childhood'.

He pleaded guilty at a previous hearing to six counts of sexual activity with a child committed during a five-month period spanning the national Covid-19 lockdown.

The court heard that police recovered notes written by the victim, hidden underneath the driver's seat in Perrin's car.

Opening the facts of the case, prosecutor Tom Walkling told the court Perrin was arrested after a male relative spotted incriminating messages on his phone.

Mr Walkling said: 'The mobile telephones (of Perrin and the victim) co-located on at least five occasions in May and June, indicating they had met up in secret.

'The defendant was arrested and he answered no comment to all questions in police interview.'

Defence counsel Julia Needham, making submissions by video-link, said of Perrin: 'He is a man who, but for this horrendous period, has been a constructive, useful and beneficial member of society.'

Recorder Sandeep Kainth was told Perrin's wife was divorcing him and he had 'lost everything' including his career.

Passing sentence on Friday, the judge told Perrin the offences beggared belief.

'What you have done is deprive a young girl of her childhood,' Recorder Kainth said. 'You knew what her age was. These offences are so serious that only a custodial sentence can suffice.'

The judge accepted that Perrin had shown genuine remorse, adding: 'I do not believe you will be back before the court when you are ultimately released.

'I sincerely hope you have learnt a salutary lesson from what can only be described as absolute and complete stupidity by you.'

Perrin was required to register as a sex offender for life and was made the subject of a sexual harm prevention order.

Inside Paedophile Island: Incredible pictures show Jeffrey Epstein cavorting with scantily clad young women where he provided gourmet food and beauty lotions and spent hours watching topless teens in Girls Gone Wild 'for inspiration'

Jeffrey Epstein spent an hour of his day watching explicit episodes of Girls Gone Wild while working out and cavorting with nubile young women at his private Caribbean island, as seen in these photos exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com. The perverted financier, who committed suicide at age 66 in August 2019, would ride his exercise bike as he watched the X-rated footage -featuring bare-breasted college girls - because it was 'inspiration' for him, a source who spent time on the island told DailyMail.com. Epstein, who reportedly demanded sex three times a day, was transfixed by the graphic videos that showed young women flashing their breasts to the camera in bars and nightclubs. New details of his sinister life have further been exposed in never-before-seen photographs of his private island Little St James, which was dubbed 'pedophile' and 'orgy' island by disgusted locals. Epstein appears in the series of images surrounded by nubile young women, including s...

It comes just six months after a budget increase saw total predicted costs for the first stage of the high-speed line soar by £20.6billion to £43billion. In a written statement to Parliament, HS2 Minister Andrew Stephenson said half of this figure is due to preparation of the route for construction involving 'more significant challenges than anticipated'. This includes the need to remove more asbestos than expected. Another 'significant cost pressure' worth £400 million has also been identified during the development of designs for Euston station. Mr Stephenson warned that further investigation is being carried out which 'could identify further pressure'.
