November 02, 1992

A 13-year-old girl lost her virginity to a man who drugged her with highly addictive ‘crack,’ 

Anthony Williams, 34, took the Stevenage girl and her friend on a search for drugs, stopping to smoke the cocaine derivative on the way.

After he inhaled he blew the smoke into the girl’s mouth and ended up having sex with her at a friend’s flat.

He was jailed by Judge Israel Finestein, QC, after the court heard he had twice before been convicted of unlawful sexual intercourse with underage girls.

‘One of the purposes of the law is to award some protection to young girls,’ the judge told Williams.

The court heard the girl and her friend met Williams in Stevenage on November 1 last year. ‘He asked whether they had any puff,’ said prosecutor Mr Timothy Probert-Wood.

‘The girl offered to show him where they could get some.’ Both girls got into Williams’ Volvo and found two other men waiting inside.

After a fruitless seach for drugs in Stevenage, the car was driven into London. At one point they stopped in a dark alleyway and Williams smoked the crack through a homemade pipe. 

‘He was doing a ”blow back” on the girl. She acquiesced in what occurred,’ said Mr Probert-Wood.

Williams drove to a friend’s flat and started kissing and touching the girl when she went in with him.

She pulled away saying she wanted to go, but Williams drove all five to Kings Cross where he bought more crack. They then went to another flat and again the girl went in with Williams.

‘He took her into a room closed the door and put a chair against it. He gave her futher blow backs,’ said counsel. ‘He then undressed her and sexual intercourse took place.’

It was 5am by the time Williams drove the girls back to their Stevenage homes. When arrested later that month he eventually confessed to having consentual sex with the girl.

The court heard on May 25 last year Williams was arrested in York Way, Kings Cross, when police spotted him driving his BMW erratically.

Williams, who was with his Doberman dog, smelt of drink when he got out of the car, but refused to take a breath test and became abusive when arrested.

He refused to let go of the dog and police reinforcements had to be called in to handcuff him. 

But as Williams was being escorted into the police station ‘he went berserk,’ said counsel. ‘He attacked the PC, smashing the handcuffs into his face.’

The PC suffered cuts, bruises and a chipped tooth before Williams could be restrained.

Jobless Williams of Partington Close, Upper Holloway, admitted unlawful sexual intercourse, supplying cocaine and assaulting the officer.

He was jailed for a total of 12 months.

The court heard he had previous convictions for burglary, possessing drugs, taking cars, assault and criminal damage. 

In 1987 he was jailed for six months for unlawful sexual intercourse and was given an indentical term suspended for two months for the same crime a year later
