Man from Didcot jailed for multiple sex offences.

Following a Thames Valley Police investigation, a man from Didcot has been jailed after being found guilty of multiple sex offences against a child.

Kenneth Meechan, aged 40, of Blackthorn Road in Didcot, was found guilty by a unanimous verdict on 20 August 2019 of sexual assault of a child under 13, sexual assault by penetration of a child under 13, vaginal rape, oral rape and causing a person to engage in sexual activity, following a trial lasting seven days at Oxford Crown Court.

He returned to the same court on Thursday (14/11) and was sentenced to a total of 17 years’ imprisonment.

The offences occurred between the 2000s and 2010s when Meechan committed a number of serious sexual assaults against a female victim.

Meechan was found to have given his victim alcohol and money.

The victim reported these offences when she reached adulthood and Meechan was subsequently arrested on 30 June 2017.

He was charged with the offences on 21 November 2018.

Meechan was convicted following his trial.
