Richard Crook must register as a sex offender for life. A SCOUT LEADER groomed a 14-year-old schoolgirl by giving her alcohol and taking her to hotels before finally getting her pregnant. Richard Crook who volunteered as a Scout leader started a sexual relationship with a teenage girl from Southampton, a court heard. The 41-year-old formerly of Vine Road claimed they had even planned the pregnancy. Prosecution barrister, Gary Rutter said that Crook knew his victim was 14-years-old and would have seen her wearing her school uniform. He added: “The defendant would take her to hotels for the purpose of sex.”
“I said to her I have got a gun.” However, he told the officers interviewing him that he was lying about having a firearm and that he “wanted to scare her”. He claimed that he patted her down and searched her pockets and how she started crying when he said “I am going to leave you with nothing”. Simmons even told police his victim “didn’t put up a fight” and that he ordered her to “shut up”. According to the Crown Prosecution Service, a CCTV operator alerted police to the incident which happened during the early hours of August 4 last year.
