Damien Pearson, 27, sexually assaulted the under-age teen and took dozens of photos of her in a state of undress at a property in Whitby. York Crown Court heard that the girl, from Whitby, pretended to be asleep as Pearson abused her and took pictures of intimate parts of her body after pulling her clothes up and down.
The victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, eventually told her parents about the incident and Pearson was brought in for questioning. He denied the offences but was charged with three counts of sexual assault and one of taking indecent pictures of an under-age girl. The girl said that Pearson, of Valley Drive, Esh Winning, Durham, took about 20 indecent photos of her and she remembered the flash of the camera. The court heard that Pearson, a former general assistant at a plush Whitby hotel, immediately started looking at the photos of the girl on his phone.
She eventually told her mother in a written note. The girl claimed that Pearson had sexually assaulted her on two previous occasions, but defence barrister Chloe Fairley said her client, a father-of-one, still denied all allegations.
Pearson, a former support worker for people with learning difficulties, appeared for sentence on Friday after a jury found him guilty of one count of sexual assault and another of taking indecent images of the girl. They found him not guilty of the two remaining counts of sexual assault by penetration, which the victim alleged had happened previously.
