Convicted for rape and other child sexual offences.

Man Convicted of Rape and Child Sexual Offences in Bicester

Following a Thames Valley Police investigation, Hayden Nolan, aged 31, of Bernwood Road, Bicester, has been found guilty of multiple child sexual offences.

A jury at Oxford Crown Court on Thursday (7/12) unanimously convicted Nolan of two counts each of rape of a child under 13, assault of a child under 13 by penetration, and sexual assault of a child under 13.

He is scheduled to be sentenced on 11 January next year.

Nolan was found to have repeatedly raped and sexually assaulted a child under the age of 13. He was charged on 15 December 2022.

Detective Constable Bryn Smith, of the Child Abuse Investigation Unit, stated: "Hayden Nolan is a predatory sex offender who has now been convicted three times of offences against children. He is a danger to children around him. He is extremely manipulative and an experienced liar."

"He groomed the child victim in this matter over a few months, starting with touching over clothing which then quickly escalated to rape. This abuse only ceased when he was imprisoned after being caught making arrangements to meet a teenage girl for sex in early 2019. The girl was in fact a decoy child operated by a law enforcement officer."
