A Harborne Paedophile and Birmingham rapist, Dwayne Kesto, who instructed two girls to keep his heinous crimes a secret to facilitate ongoing sexual abuse, has been sentenced to 16 years in prison.
Dwayne Kesto, a paedophile residing on Parkfield Avenue in Harborne, perpetrated assaults on the girls over several years.
The 40-year-old’s reign of terror persisted until one individual disclosed the situation to a teacher.
Upon his exposure, Dwayne Kesto fled for three years, but was ultimately apprehended by the authorities in March.
Dwayne Kesto was found guilty of historical charges at Wolverhampton Crown Court following an eight-day trial and subsequently sentenced to an extended prison term at Birmingham Crown Court.
Detective Sergeant Jayne Killoch of the West Midlands Police Public Protection Unit stated that Dwayne Kesto instructed the females to keep it a secret, enabling his predatory conduct.
Dwayne Kesto eluded apprehension for three years, but we apprehended him in March, and he was subsequently remanded into custody while a thorough investigation was conducted.
Dwayne Kesto will be repatriated to Jamaica following his release from prison.
Detective Sergeant Killoch remarked: Both girls provided testimony in court, demonstrating dignity and courage throughout the trial, and I congratulate their valour.
I hope that witnessing their attacker being brought to justice aids in alleviating the trauma they have undoubtedly endured.
I hope their narrative empowers other young girls to get the bravery to disclose abuse, regardless of when it occurred.
