Navy officer jailed 22 years for sexual assaults on recruits and boy
Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 6 Nov, 15:11 · Archive
A former Royal Navy petty officer serving life for two murders has been jailed for a further 22 years for sexually assaulting young naval recruits and a 14-year-old boy.
Allan Grimson, 67, from Portsmouth, was convicted in July at Winchester Crown Court of 13 sexual offences committed between February 1994 and November 1999. The offences included the rape and indecent assault of a teenage naval rating, indecent assaults against three other male complainants and taking indecent photographs of a 14-year-old boy.
Grimson is serving a life sentence for two previous murders. Sentencing him to a further 22 years, Judge Paul Dugdale said he remained a danger to the public. The judge cited his murder convictions and similarities between those crimes and his latest offences. Grimson had told police that one sailor he assaulted was 'lucky to be alive' and said 'If you're going to rape somebody, to get away with it, kill it.' Judge Dugdale said he found a link in Grimson's psychology between sexual assaults and an urge to inflict serious violence.
