Man Jailed for Eight Years for Sex Offenses Against Teenage Girls

Nathan Wing, 28, has been sentenced to eight years in prison for a series of sexual offenses against young girls. Wing met his victim online using a false name and engaged in thousands of sexualized social media conversations. Despite knowing the victim was only 12 years old, Wing enticed her to send him explicit images and arranged to meet her in person on multiple occasions.

Police traced the phone used by Wing and arrested him in January of last year. A forensic examination of the device revealed similar exchanges with two other teenage girls. Officers also discovered evidence of numerous sexually explicit internet searches related to young girls.

Wing, formerly of Newark, refused to answer questions from police but later admitted to 11 sexual offenses, including inciting a child to engage in sexual activity. He appeared at Nottingham Crown Court on Friday, November 11th, where he was sentenced to eight years in prison followed by an additional four years on license due to his classification as a dangerous offender.

Upon his release, Wing will be subject to a sexual harm prevention order, which will place significant restrictions on his life.

Detective Constable Stacey Hardstaff of Nottinghamshire Police stated, "Wing is a manipulative sex offender who poses a significant danger to young girls. He knew exactly what he was doing and had absolutely no care for the very significant harm he was causing. His depravity has had a profound impact on his victims and their families, and I am pleased he has now been held accountable by the courts. This is a very significant jail sentence that should serve as a warning to anyone else thinking of behaving in a similar way."
