A man has been jailed for 18 years after he was found guilty of non-recent child sex offences.

Dominic Mulligan, 52, of Elles Close, Farnborough, assaulted two victims in the Farnborough area between 2003 and 2012. The offences were reported to police in 2023.

Following a trial at Winchester Crown Court, he was found guilty of: rape of a girl under the age of 13; rape of a girl under the age of 16; rape of a woman 16 years of age or over; assault of a girl under 13 by penetration; assault of a girl under 13 by touching; causing / inciting a girl under 13 to engage in sexual activity.

Mulligan was jailed for 18 years, with an extended licence period of one year, at the same court on Monday, January 26.

He was also made subject of a restraining order and a Sexual Harm Prevention Order, which prevents him from contacting children. He will also be on the Sex Offenders Register for life.

T/Detective Sergeant Bethan Hastelow, from Hart and Rushmoor CID, said: “Firstly I would like to thank both victims for their bravery throughout the investigation and trial.

“I hope both women can try and move forward knowing that Dominic Mulligan will spend a large portion of his life behind bars for what he did to them.

“I sincerely hope this sentence gives other victims of sexual offences the confidence to bring their case to us.

“No matter how long ago the incident occurred we will do everything we can to investigate and bring offenders to justice.”
