The victim’s mother called the man, Alan Styles, who sexually molested young girls, a “monster.”
The victim of a guy who was convicted on several charges of sexually abusing young girls says she wishes she “could have told some one to make it stop.”
After being found guilty by trial in February of seven charges of sexual assault and one act of rape, Alan Styles, 44, of Semington Road, Melksham, was sentenced to 20 years in prison on June 19 at Winchester Crown Court.
16 years will be spent in prison with four on licence.
The occurrences occurred at various sites between January 2019 and October 2023.
In addition, Styles was subject to a restraining order and a Sexual Protection Order.
In a statement read to the court, a victim told Styles: “I didn’t know that one person could have such a big impact on another’s life until now. There is always a moment every day when it comes up, all of it. Terrible overwhelming thoughts and memories, it fills my brain and consumes my thoughts making me feel anxious and stressed.
“Why did this happen to me? I didn’t deserve it.
“The overwhelming fear that if you were found not guilty, we would never get justice and be forever silenced. That fear, throughout the whole court process, that we wouldn’t get justice and could have been forever silenced, from the initial call to police to the trial has consumed so much of my mind when no young girl should ever have even one small thought about this devastating situation of being misunderstood, or the fear of not being believed.
Another victim told Styles: “Everywhere I go there is a reminder of you. I find myself blaming me for what you did, like somehow it must have been my fault.
“I told you to stop once but you didn’t listen and decided to still do it again and again, even after I said I didn’t want you to.
“You made me think that it was bad to tell anyone because you told me not to and I didn’t know how to tell anyone the horrible truth.
“My life changed so much as a consequence of what you did to me. I was a child, and you exposed me to things I should never have been exposed to. My only hope is that you can have some sort of consequence that will change your life as much as what you did to me has changed mine. It haunts me every single day what you did to me.
“I wish I could of told some one to make it stop.”
