Girl was raped from 11

A PAEDOPHILE who branded his schoolgirl victim “experienced” faces years behind bars.

David Dennison, 59, repeatedly raped the victim from the age of 11 until a “pregnancy scare” ended her five-year ordeal.

Dennison admitted having sex with the child when he was confronted by his furious wife, telling her: “She got into my bed, she was not a virgin and she was experienced.”

Judge Wendy Joseph, QC, warned Dennison last week that he faced a “lengthy custodial sentence”.

Jurors heard how Dennison preyed on the girl, who cannot be named, between 1985-1989 in Silvertown. 

Dennison, of Tiptree, Essex, was convicted of indecent assault and five counts of rape.
