Offence Summary

Stephen Berry raped and indecently assaulted children across Oxfordshire from 1992 to 2009, receiving a 19-year-and-six-month prison sentence.

Full Description

Stephen Berry, 65, of no fixed abode, was sentenced to 19 years and six months at Oxford Crown Court on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, for a series of child sex offences spanning 1992 to 2009. He had previously pleaded guilty to eight counts of rape, one count of indecent assault with a child, and one count of indecent assault, committed in various areas across Oxfordshire.

The court was told of the long-term abuse inflicted on multiple victims, with Judge Ian Pringle KC describing the offences as heinous and warranting a substantial custodial term. Berry's guilty pleas were noted, but the severity of the crimes dictated the lengthy sentence.

Thames Valley Police's historical investigations brought these cases to light, providing closure for victims after years of trauma. The sentencing reflects the justice system's commitment to punishing prolonged child exploitation.
