An Abingdon Paedophile, Christopher Jones, is charged with compelling two young girls to wear nappies while he ‘cradled’ them and wore an adult nappy himself, according to jury testimony.
Christopher Jones is being tried at Oxford Crown Court on four counts of sexual offences involving two girls, whose identities are protected for legal reasons.
The 44-year-old Christopher Jones faces charges of child sexual assault, inducing a kid under 13 to participate in a sexual act, and two counts of engaging in sexual behaviour in the presence of a child, all purportedly occurring between July 1, 2007, and August 31, 2008.
Christopher Jones, of Bridges Close, Abingdon, has denied the charges and is now standing trial which is expected to last five to six days.
During the trial opening on Monday (September 30), the court heard that Christopher Jones was aged 26 to 27 at the time of the alleged offences and was living at an address in Heron’s Walk, Abingdon.
The girls, who are now adults, claim that they were playing on a grassy area nearby, dubbed ‘The Green’, when Christopher Jones had reportedly invited them into his home to play games.
Whilst one of the girls played on the game console, Christopher Jones reportedly invited the second into his bedroom to ‘play mums and dads’.
“[The girl] said the defendant undressed her and put her in a nappy and he himself had on an adult nappy,” said the prosecuting barrister.
“He got under the covers and asked her to jump in and then cradled her and fed her a baby bottle of apple juice, as if she herself was a baby.”
It is alleged the second girl then came into the bedroom and Christopher Jones had put her in a nappy and had ‘cradled them both’.
The second girl told police she remembered that the defendant and the first girl were ‘very close together’ in the bed when she entered the room.
The jury heard that Christopher Jones had then reportedly assaulted one of the girls who said she ‘didn’t like it’ and that it had hurt.
When the girls allegedly left the defendant’s home, it is claimed that Christopher Jones had threatened them, stating he would ‘kill’ one of the girls if she told anyone about the game they had played as it was a ‘secret game’.
Christopher Jones was interviewed in 2021 and 2022 after the complainants reported the alleged incident to the police.
Christopher Jones denied the charges and stated that he had never invited the girls into his home.
The trial continues.
