MILITARY POLICE SERGE RAPES 12-YEAR OLD!

A Royal Military Police sergeant who had sex with a 12-year-old girl after befriending her on his mobile phone is facing prison.

Adrian Rose found the girl through the BlackBerry Messenger network popular with youngsters, posed as a 19-year-old, and then drove to her home city of Norwich to have sex with her.

The 36-year-old, of Aldershot, Hampshire, arranged to meet up with her and drove up from his barracks to have sex with her.

The army sergeant denied seven counts of rape, six charges of abducting the girl and meeting a child following sexual grooming.

The trial heard how the relationship was discovered when police saw Rose with the girl in a parked car at a Norwich business park last February.

Prosecutor Clare Matthews told the jury that officers noticed the girl’s trousers were unzipped and there were condoms in the car.

When challenged, Rose told police: ‘As if I would do anything with a 16-year-old’.

Police took the girl home and found that her mother was completely unaware she had met up with Rose and thought she had been with friends her own age

Rose’s DNA was later found on the girl’s bra.
