A creep who groomed two teenage girls in Bucks with the aim of having sexual relations with them has been jailed.

Paedophile Robert Kiedis, aged 43, of no fixed address, was sentenced to three years in prison at Amersham Law Courts today (Monday) after he admitted to grooming two girls under the age of 16 over a period of more than a year in the Aylesbury Vale area.

Kiedis pleaded guilty to two counts of engaging in sexual communication with a child and two counts of failing to comply with a notification requirement.

Sentencing Kiedis, Judge Alex Wright said: “It’s necessary to impose an extended sentence to protect the public and specifically young children and young girls.”

What were Kiedis’s crimes?

The court heard from prosecutor Edward Culver how between March 2020 and April 2021, Kiedis groomed his two victims, and admitted himself that his goal was to initiate sexual relations with them.

Mr Culver said: “He would discuss a number of matters [with the victims] about the age of consent and his suggestion it should be 14, rather than 16.

"He offered them alcohol and cannabis. This was part of grooming behaviour and he accepts now hat his ultimate intention was to have sexual relations.”

The court heard how Kiedis had previously served time for a child sex offence, but failed to tell the family of the two teenagers about this – which is a crime in itself.

Not only was Kiedis guilty on this occasion, but the court also heard that Kiedis was jailed in 2013 after committing other child sex offences in Nottingham.

Barrister Kim Preston, who was representing Kiedis, told the court that her client accepted what he did was wrong and felt remorse.

She said: “Mr Kiedis has been very up front about his offending, he has expressed clear victim awareness.

“His shame and remorse for this is noticeable.”

What did the judge say?

Judge Alex Wright told Kiedis that he needed to send him to prison to protect the public.

He said: “You recognise the impact on the victims but it’s troubling that nonetheless you went on and committed the offences.

“It’s necessary to impose an extended sentence to protect the public and especially young children and young girls.”

Judge Wright gave Kiedis a three-year prison sentence, and an extended two-year licence period.

He was also given an indefinite notification period and an indefinite sexual harm prevention order.
