A TEENAGE paedophile has been jailed for sex attacks on three children.

Jay Jay Victor-Junior Alexander, 19, of Grange Park, Leyton, was found guilty of assaulting three girls, aged 13, 14 and 15, at a dis-used changing room block on Ive Farm Close running track in Leyton on January 25 this year.

Today at Snaresbrook Crown Court Judge Jacqueline Beech sentenced him to a total of 14 years.

He received 14 years for rape, of which he will serve a minimum of seven years.

Alexander received three years for sexual assault by penetration, eight weeks for sexual assault on a female and 18 months for causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.

He was also sentenced to 13 months for false imprisonment, six months for sexual assault, 16 weeks for actual bodily harm and six months for possessing an offensive weapon.

A sentence of ten weeks for assault with the intention to rob, to which he pleaded guilty, was also handed down.

All the terms will run concurrently.

Waltham Forest CPS Borough Crown Prosecutor Jo Tang said: “This was an alarming case which saw a thirteen year old girl held against her will and subjected to a vicious sexual assault, simply because she rejected the defendant’s advances.

"This is a dangerous offender and thanks to the extreme courage shown by the victim, in coming forward and then giving evidence in court, he has been convicted of a number of very serious offences and will be in prison for some time.”
