London, Oct 21, 2016 – An 82 year old man has been jailed for sex offences he committed in the 1970s and 1980s.
Mervyn Conn, 82 of Convent Way, Wimbledon, was found guilty of two counts of rape; one on a girl under 16 and another count of rape on a woman over 16 at Kingston Crown Court on Tuesday, 18 October.
He was also found guilty on one count of indecent assault on a girl under 16.
The offences occurred between 1975 and 1985 in the Westminster and Wimbledon areas.
On Friday, 21 October at the same court Conn was jailed for 15 years; the judge ordered that he serve at least seven years before being eligible for release.
Conn will be made to sign the sex offenders register on his release.
Detectives from the Met’s Sexual Offences, Exploitation and Child Abuse Command (SOECA) dealt with the man following his arrest at Gatwick Airport on Monday, 14 July.
The man was released on bail before being charged on Tuesday, 2 February 2016.
An allegation was initially made to another force in March 2014 and subsequently transferred to the MPS. Following these two other women came forward.
Conn was found not-guilty of one count of indecent assault on a woman over 16-years-old and two counts of indecent assault on a girl under the age of 16-years-old. Another charge of indecent assault was aborted.
