A child rapist has been jailed after his sick attacks on two youngsters were discovered.<\/p>\n
Martyn Hall, 48, of Minster-on-Sea, on the Isle of Sheppey, was arrested in May 2021, the same day his offences against one of the victims were reported to police.<\/p>\n
Hall was convicted following a trial and sentenced to 15-and-a-half years\u2019 imprisonment. Picture: Kent Police<\/p>\n
During the course of inquiries, a second victim was identified, and Hall was subsequently charged with several offences, including rape and sexual assault of a child.<\/p>\n
While awaiting trial, Hall was made subject to an interim Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO).<\/p>\n
Officers regularly checked his compliance with the conditions and, in August 2025, uncovered indecent images of children on his phone.<\/p>\n
Hall was further charged with this offence and pleaded not guilty to all the indictments at Maidstone Crown Court.<\/p>\n
He was convicted following a trial and sentenced on Friday to 15-and-a-half years\u2019 imprisonment.<\/p>\n
Det Con Jessica Grigson said: \u201cHall put two young victims through an appalling ordeal and at no time has shown any signs of remorse.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would like to commend his victims who bravely supported us throughout our investigation and the court proceedings.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe strength of the evidence they provided allowed our officers to build a case that led jurors to rightly convict him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope his victims can now find some closure now that this criminal is behind bars for some time\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A child rapist has been jailed after his sick attacks on two youngsters were discovered.
