Lymington Man Jailed For 24 Years For Child Sex Offences Against Two Children

A 25-year-old man from Lymington has been jailed for 24 years for a series of child sex offences against two children, including the rape of a girl aged under 13.

Jimmy Fisher, of Efford Way, Lymington, pleaded guilty to the charges against him at Southampton Crown Court on Friday 15 May. He was sentenced at the same court on Monday 6 July.

The offences took place between 2020 and 2025.

Fisher was sentenced for offences including rape, attempted rape, sexual activity with a child, and taking, making and possessing indecent photographs of a child.

As well as his 24-year prison sentence, Fisher has been given an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order and has been ordered to sign the Sex Offenders Register for life.

He was also handed a deprivation order for devices seized from him and has been barred from ever working with children and vulnerable adults.

Fisher will only become eligible for release on a six-year licence after serving 18 years in prison.

PC Rhiannon Winstanley, of the Child Abuse Investigation Team, praised the courage of the young victims in the case.

She said: “I would like to place on record my praise and admiration for the young victims in this case and the courage and determination they have shown throughout.

“While I know this result alone will never erase the memories of what happened to them, I truly hope it allows them, and their families, to move forward with their lives, safe in the knowledge that Fisher is now being punished for his crimes and can no longer harm any other innocent child.

“These were unimaginable crimes, but thanks to the bravery of the victims and their determination to see justice served, all children are now that much safer with him locked away.”

Directly addressing other victims of sexual offences, PC Winstanley added: “We encourage other victims to come forward and speak to us. We take allegations of this nature extremely seriously and work hard to bring offenders to justice.

“This case should also be a very clear message to other offenders out there that we will always work tirelessly to ensure you are brought to justice for your crimes, no matter when they took place.”

During sentencing, the judge described Fisher as a dangerous offender and said his victims had been left “disgusted and scared”. The judge also highlighted Fisher’s lack of remorse during police interviews.
