Alan Lodge, a 53-year-old man from Streetly, has been sentenced to eight years in prison for sexually abusing a schoolgirl over a two-year period. The abuse included kissing, sexual acts in front of the victim, and coercing her into inappropriate touching. Lodge claimed that the abuse occurred because the girl 'liked it,' a notion the court rejected, noting that the victim acted this way in hopes of ending the abuse sooner. The victim, now struggling with anxiety, panic attacks, and nightmares, expressed that her life has been irrevocably changed. During sentencing, Judge John Edwards condemned Lodge's actions as 'the most egregious offence' at a critical time in the victim's life. Lodge admitted to 11 counts of sexual activity with a child and was also given a 10-year sexual harm prevention order, along with a lifetime registration on the sex offenders list.
