Paedophile Daniel Outing has been imprisoned after having a sexual relationship with a teenager more than ten years his junior. Age thirty-two, Daniel Outing, of no fixed residence, was arrested in 2018 following the disclosure of the relationship to a family member.
After his arrest, searches of his gadgets turned up hundreds of obscene photographs of youngsters and some violent pornographic pictures.
Having confessed to nine crimes earlier, he was sentenced on Thursday, August 15, at Norwich Crown Court.
These included three counts of manufacturing an indecent picture on or before 20 November 2018, five counts of sexual activity with a girl under the age of sixteen between 1 April 2017 and 31 July 2018, and one count of possessing an extreme pornographic image on or before 20 November 2018.
Added was a second charge for his homelessness-related noncompliance with notice rules.
Daniel Outing received a four-year extended licence period along with a six-year jail sentence. Along with a restraining order keeping him from getting in touch with the victim, he was granted an indefinite sexual harm prevention order.
The victim said in a statement presented to the court that although at the time she had not understood the gravity and wrongfulness of the relationship, it had seriously disrupted her life.
She claimed that her age made it easy for her to be pushed to skip classes to spend more time with Daniel Outing.
Her schooling suffered over time from this. She eventually withdrew from friendships and school to keep the relationship secret; Daniel Outing said that should they be discovered, both would get in hot water.
Her mental health has suffered dramatically since she realised the connection was unsuitable and unlawful.
Daniel Outing’s activities led her to find family and emotional ties quite challenging.
Once the case closed, though, she expressed her desire to go back to school and figure out how to help other young victims of adult abuse.
