A 67-year-old man has been jailed after subjecting a girl to repeated sexual abuse. Steve Adams, of Marine Parade, Sheerness, first abused the teenager in 2019 and continued for a year, when she reported it. Adams denied the sexual assaults but a jury at Maidstone Crown Court found him guilty and on August 29 he was jailed for 13 years. Investigating officer Det Con Gemma Willis said: “Adams took advantage of a young woman for his own sexual gratification. “His prison sentence means he can no longer harm anyone else and I hope that brings some comfort to the victim.”
