Two barbers who admitted committing sexual offences against the same 15-year-old girl a day apart, have been jailed.Sean Evans, 23, was sentenced to two years in prison for committing unlawful carnal knowledge.Meanwhile 21-year-old Joshua Boorman was sentenced to one year in prison for a sexual assault against the teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons.The court heard that Boorman, of Middle Road, Southampton, approached the girl on a date between December 26 and December 29 last year.The two exchanged phone numbers and continued to talk, despite the victim telling Boorman she was only 15.On December 30, she was invited to the barbershop where both defendants worked and was introduced to Evans, who resides on Scott’s Hill Road in Sandys.Later that day, Boorman took the girl to a shed behind a friend’s house and asked for oral sex. He then exposed himself to the teenager, saying: “Do it. Let’s go.”He pushed her head down with both hands, holding her by her hair. After a short time she stopped, but Boorman told her to continue.Shortly after the incident, the victim saw Evans and spoke with him. They exchanged phone numbers and agreed to “just sit and talk”.They met the next day and Evans took the teenager to an auto-body shop where he had sex with her.The victim later told an acquaintance about the incident, who subsequently informed her parents.Prosecutor Takiyah Burgess yesterday told Magistrates’ Court that Evans was previously convicted for unlawful carnal knowledge and sentenced to a year in prison.He was on bail when he committed the offence before the court yesterday.Ms Burgess said that a social inquiry report found that Evans had a moderate to high risk of reoffending, noting that he appeared to lack empathy and remorse.Lawyer Saul Dismont emphasised that there was no violence or restraint involved in the offence and that Evans had admitted wrongdoing as soon as he was arrested.He further said that Evans has mental health challenges, noting that he was diagnosed with oppositional defiance disorder at the age of 14 and had an IQ of 75.Evans apologised to the court, the victim and his family, but insisted he didn’t have mental health issues.“I’m not crazy,” he said. “I just ask that you show some leniency in your sentence, your honour.”Boorman told the court that he had made a mistake.“I was foolish and unaware of what I was getting myself involved in,” he said. “I regret not taking the time to get to know this lady the way I should have.”Boorman had no history of similar offences and was at a low to moderate risk of reoffending, Ms Burgess said.However she argued that the offence required an immediate custodial sentence.Defence lawyer Shade Subair said a community-based sentence would be more appropriate.She cited the sentencing of Joshua Crockwell, a former firefighter who received a 15-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, for molesting a 12-year-old the sentence is currently being appealed.Magistrate Khamisi Tokunbo, who presided over that matter as well as yesterday’s, told Ms Subair that Crockwell had in fact received a custodial sentence.“People don’t understand that it was a custodial sentence,” he said. “There is a difference.”Mr Tokunbo said that comparisons between Boorman’s offence and Crockwell’s offence were different, in part, because Crockwell stopped before “completing the act”.“In this case, the evidence is you caused her to perform oral sex on you. You encouraged her to continue when she stopped,” he said. “The act was fully completed.”He sentenced Boorman to an immediate custodial sentence of 12 months, to be followed by 18 months of probation.Regarding Evans, Mr Tokunbo said the only mitigating factor was the early guilty plea.“You have been here before,” Mr Tokunbo said. “You have been down this road before. You have previously been convicted for unlawful carnal knowledge. You clearly haven’t learned your lesson.”He sentenced Evans to two years’ imprisonment, including any recommended sexual offenders programmes, to be followed by 18 months of probation.Time already spent in custody will be taken into account for both men.
