A former Sevenoaks Paedophile Stefan Farbrother subjected a child to an ‘appalling and terrifying campaign’ of repeated sexual abuse during the 1990s. Stefan Farbrother was convicted of a string of offences, including multiple rapes, over a period spanning five years.
During one of his attacks, he held a knife to his victim’s throat and in another, restrained them using handcuffs. Concerns were initially reported to Kent Police in 2018, which led to the arrest of Stefan Farbrother in June that year.
He was charged with thirteen offences relating to incidents between 1991 and 1997. These included seven offences of rape and multiple indecent assaults. Stefan Farbrother, 47, of Stanningley Road, Halifax, West Yorkshire denied any wrongdoing.
The case went to trial at Maidstone Crown Court and in October 2023 he was convicted, by unanimous verdict, on all counts. On Monday (January 22) Stefan Farbrother was sentenced to 18 years’ imprisonment. He was also added to the sex offenders register, for life.
