Record details
A Southampton man has been jailed for a number of child sex offences against a teenage girl.
Paul Frost, aged 38 and of Mercury Close, was previously charged with two counts of voyeurism, one count of attempting to engage in sexual activity with a child, and five counts of sexual activity with a child.
The offences occurred between 25 July 2024 and 17 August 2025 when Frost inappropriately touched the girl on a number of occasions, and on one occasion attempted to kiss her.
Appearing at Southampton Crown Court on 28 September this year, he admitted all 8 offences.
Frost appeared at the same court for sentencing on 9 November, where he was handed a sentence of four years imprisonment.
DC Lucier, from the Child Abuse Investigation Team (CAIT) said:
“Frost consistently and repeatedly abused this child for his own sexual gratification.
“Offending of this nature is utterly appalling and can have a devastating and lifelong impact on those affected.
“I would like to personally commend the victim for her bravery in coming forward but also through the process of the investigation. It’s due to her courage that his offending was able to be disrupted and further offences prevented.
“We want others who have been abused to know that we take this extremely seriously and will do everything in our power to safeguard you and bring offenders to justice.
“CAIT are a dedicated and specially trained team of officers and staff committed to investigating child abuse and providing support to those affected.”
