Sex Offender Jailed for 11 Years for Non-Recent Offenses

Ben Quinton-Taylor, 47, was sentenced to 11 years in prison on October 6, 2023, at Canterbury Crown Court for non-recent sex offenses against a child. He pleaded guilty to assault by penetration.

The charges stemmed from a report made by a woman who alleged that between 2009 and 2011, Quinton-Taylor sexually assaulted her as a child inside a property in Gillingham. The victim was of primary school age at the time.

Kent Police initiated the investigation in September 2019, arresting Quinton-Taylor in February 2020. After a thorough investigation, he was charged in June 2022.

In addition to the assault by penetration charge, Quinton-Taylor also admitted to criminal damage and two counts of controlling and coercive behavior. These charges resulted from allegations made by two other victims regarding separate incidents.

Besides the prison sentence, Quinton-Taylor was subjected to restraining orders barring him from contacting all three victims. He was also placed on the Sex Offenders' Register for life. A Sexual Harm Prevention Order was also imposed to prevent future offenses.
