The Offender Database reported that John Simpson, the Eastbourne Paedophile Child Molester, found guilty of 11 counts of child sexual assault, has been sentenced to imprisonment.
John Simpson, 52, of Sheffield Park Way, Eastbourne, was sentenced to nine years and six months at Lewes Crown Court on Thursday, 13 November.
In 2011, John Simpson manipulated and repeatedly sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl, persuading her that they were engaged in a ‘normal relationship’.
The assault persisted for several months before the victim successfully severed ties with John Simpson.
The victim reported John Simpson’s misconduct to the police as an adult in 2021 and received assistance from specialised officers during the inquiry.
John Simpson was later apprehended and indicted on 13 counts of engaging in sexual behaviour with a minor and two counts of inducing a minor to engage in sexual activity.
On 3 September 2025, in Lewes Crown Court, he was convicted of nine charges of sexual conduct with a minor and two counts of causing or inciting a minor to engage in sexual activity.
He was acquitted of four charges of sexual conduct with a minor.
John Simpson received a sentence of 9 years and 6 months in jail, will be classified as a registered sex offender for life, and was issued an indefinite restraining order against the victim.
