Prison for pervert who abused schoolgirl

A MAN who carried out a string of sickening sex attacks on a schoolgirl was jailed for three years.

Stephen Bladon, formerly a customer adviser with the AA, was ordered to register for life as a sex offender.

The 42-year-old father of three from Darlaston was convicted at the end of his trial on three charges of sexual activity with a child and another of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.

Judge Frank Chapman told Bladon at Wolverhampton Crown Court: “There must be a significant sentence to reflect the harm you have done.

Bladon, of Rubery Street, was also banned from ever working with children.
