Description
A rapist who subjected a child to horrendous sexual abuse has been jailed.
Sebastian Robinson, 20, lived in a "fantasy world" of porn that shaped his attitudes toward women and girls, leading to horrific sex offenses, Teesside Crown Court heard.
He committed multiple rapes and sexual assaults against the child victim as a teenager, threatening they would be arrested if they reported him to police. The victim suffered a mental breakdown from the trauma.
Found guilty after trial, Robinson appeared for sentencing Friday. Judge Jo Kidd said: "You began looking at porn, shaping your attitudes between women, girls and sex. It was a toxic combination...you plummeted into a fantasy world."
The court heard his behavior was "bullying" and "threatening." In a statement, the victim said Robinson "controlled" them via arrest threats.
Mitigating, Paul Abrahams noted Robinson's previous good character and neurodivergence.
Judge Kidd imposed seven years in a youth offender institution, a restraining order, indefinite sex offender registration, and an indefinite sexual harm prevention order.
