Blackpool pervert Naughton Milner is jailed for abusing young girl
A paedophile who abused a 10-year-old girl has been jailed for nine and a half years.
Naughton Alan Milner, 39, of High Street, Blackpool, would ply his young victim with sweets, chocolate and cash, Preston Crown Court was told. He would then tell her: “You’re fit.”
Milner was convicted by a jury of a string of sexual offences against the youngster, including four counts of sexual assault, and had previously admitted possessing indecent images of children. The offences happened over a period between 2011 and 2013.
Prosecuting, Paul Cummings said the offences took place in the living room of a flat in Blackpool over a period of several months.
“He would sit her on his lap or put her on sofa and touch her,” he said.
The court heard he tried to stroke her leg and told her he “loved her”. He told her they would both be in trouble if she didn’t keep it a secret.
In a statement, the teenager said she felt “discomfort and fear” and was frightened of bumping into him. The court heard in December 2016 she told a social worker about what he had done.
In February 2017 she showed some Facebook messages initiated by Milner using a pseudonym, asking to meet and expressing a sexual interest in her.
In the messages he described the child as “hot” and “fit” and referred to the incidents that had happened in the past. When police interviewed him he denied the offences but officers found his Xbox console had been used to search for the girl on Facebook.
A police probe found Milner had sent an e-mail to someone he believed could share indecent images of children saying: “ Hi, I’m new to this, I’m looking for porn and pictures of girls, please could you help me please?”
He had actually contacted an undercover officer but in the ensuing conversation expressed a wish to have sex with a child.
In a separate offence he admitted possessing a blade.
Judge Philip Parry ordered him to sign the sex offenders register for life and imposed a 15-year sexual harm prevention order.
He was barred from working with children and vulnerable adults. His X-Box was seized.
Milner was also jailed for eight months in 2014, after being caught in a cemetery performing a sex act whilst listening to and watching children on the other side of a hedge

Pervert with sexual interest in children is banned from town parks
A man who was spotted performing a sex act in public has been banned from cemeteries and parks indefinitely.
Naughton Milner was jailed for eight months after being caught in a cemetery.
Jailing him, Judge Graham Knowles told Milner: “This was truly an outrage of public decency.
“There was a breach of respect for the dead, a breach of respect for the relatives of the dead and a breach of all sexual constraints that ought to operate in the protection of the public and children”.
Preston Crown Court was told Milner was seen listening to and watching children on the other side of a hedge at the cemetery.
He had a sexual interest in those children, but had not tried to get their attention, the judge accepted.
The ban, imposed under the Protection from Harassment Act, also bars him from entering any grave yard or church yard, except for attending a burial, a service, or to visit a relative’s grave.
He is also barred form public parks.
The judge said that Milner had told a probation officer he spent time relaxing in cemeteries.
The 35-year-old of Ribble Road, Blackpool pleaded guilty to an offence of outraging public decency and a later offence of having an offensive weapon, a half brick in a separate incident while on bail.
He was given six months jail for the first offence, with two months on top for the second.
The court heard that a couple were walking their dog at about 7pm on September 7, 2012, when they noticed a male “messing around in hedges” and looking like he was pulling his trousers up.
David Traynor, prosecuting, said the couple were aware of press reports about a man exposing themselves in that area.
They thought he fitted the description and therefore kept an eye on him.
Milner was described as acting strangely, looking around. He started to duck down and at one point, tried to hide behind a bin. He then quickly walked off to another area.
Mr Traynor added: “They thought he was aware they were watching, but seemed intent on what he was doing.
“On the other side of the fence, children could be heard playing”.
Milner was peering through gaps and walking up and down the hedgeline. The woman went to phone the police. The man went on to see the defendant start performing a sex act behind the hedge.
Police arrested Milner at the scene.
He went on to tell officers he had spent all his money in a betting shop and was trying to clear his head by spending time in the cemetery.
He spoke of trying to find a tree which he and his girlfriend had carved their initials.
He was on bail over that incident when the second one happened on June 5.
Milner had been in the
Litten Tree pub, on Queen Street in Blackpool.
A dispute happened between two groups of people
Two males came together and a female suffered a blow to her face.
Members of staff separated them.
The incident started up again outside.
Milner armed himself with a brick and started brandishing it.
Julie Taylor, defending, said the defendant, who had in the past been diagnosed as having a personality disorder, had had significant problems in his life.
He had been troubled with mental illness, had been an alcoholic and had tried to take his own life more than
once.
“He is a very troubled person, but not so troubled or so entrenched in his ways and
behaviour that he doesn’t recognise he needs help”, said Miss Taylor.
