In 2019, the Offender Database recorded that Ryan Hiller, 29, of Main Road, Gedney Drove End, Lincolnshire, was jailed for eight years for a predatory and perverted attack on a 14-year-old girl. On appearing at Lincoln Crown Court on Friday 23 August 2019, the defendant, also known as Ryan Ayers, was sentenced for a four-hour ordeal involving the kidnapping and sexual exploitation of the teenager. It was reported that Hiller groomed the victim through the Whisper app before picking her up outside a Lincoln supermarket and driving her to a secluded field.
The investigation established the “deeply perverted” nature of Hiller’s behaviour, which involved a fetish for nappies. Lincolnshire Police reported that Hiller ripped off the girl’s clothes in a field near Cherry Willingham and forced her into an adult nappy before taking her to his caravan located at his parents’ home. The prosecution reported that once inside the caravan, Hiller committed a series of sexual acts on the naive schoolgirl for several hours while her parents and the police desperately searched for her.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Hiller was unmasked after police tracked his vehicle following reports from the victim’s friends. Lincoln Crown Court heard how officers entered the caravan to find the 14-year-old inside with the defendant. The investigation established that a forensic check of Hiller’s mobile phone revealed he had also groomed two other 14-year-old girls, requesting naked photographs and possessing indecent images of them.
Judge John Pini QC noted that Hiller showed no remorse for his actions and appeared oblivious to the harm he caused to vulnerable young females. For his behaviour in Gedney Drove End and Lincoln, Hiller pleaded guilty to three counts of sexual activity with a child, two counts of child sexual exploitation, sexual communication, and possession of indecent images. The judge noted the disgraceful nature of the offences, which were committed solely for Hiller’s gratification, and sentenced him to 96 months in prison.

Monitoring and Public Protection
Hiller is managed under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) by the police and the National Probation Service in Lincolnshire. Due to the nature of his conduct in Gedney Drove End, which involved grooming through social apps and the physical kidnapping of a child, his management is subject to the highest level of scrutiny. Authorities state that his life-long inclusion on the Sex Offenders Register is a vital tool to ensure he is subject to residency checks and digital forensic audits to prevent any future access to children through digital platforms.
As a member of the Sex Offenders Register for life, Hiller must comply with all notification requirements regarding his identity and residence. Authorities state that his history of child exploitation and “warped” fetishes in Lincolnshire necessitates permanent vigilance. Any future attempt to approach children, download social messaging apps, or engage in inappropriate behaviour in Spalding or elsewhere will result in immediate arrest and a return to the court system for further incarceration.
