Predatory Paedophile Sentenced to 17 Years
Adam Justice-Mills, 61, from Haringey, was slammed with a 17-year prison sentence at Wood Green Crown Court on Tuesday, 2 February. He admitted to a staggering 78 counts of child sexual offences committed across Barnet and Haringey between 2000 and 2020.
Shocking Crimes and Sordid Confessions
Justice-Mills’ vile crimes included rape, attempted rape, and multiple other sexual offences against two young girls he knew. On top of this, he also confessed to making and possessing indecent images of children. Police uncovered a chilling “Confessions” diary spanning a decade, detailing his sick desires and horrific abuse.
- Arrested on 31 January 2020 after police received warnings about the risk he posed to children.
- Charged just a week later, he quickly pleaded guilty to all counts.
- Police found 170,000+ illegal images on a sophisticated computer setup at his home, including the worst categories.
Victims Speak Out, Police Praise Survivors
“He deserves everything he’s been given and more,” one victim declared. “He disguised himself as an upstanding member of society using his power to satisfy his repulsive desires.”
“I now see light at the end of the tunnel knowing he can only see the world through his cell window. I can finally start healing.”
Detective Constable Virginia Condren, who led the investigation, branded Justice-Mills a “dangerous, predatory paedophile.” She praised the victims for their “resilience and fortitude” and urged others to report abuse.
“No sentence can undo the trauma he caused, but this lengthy prison term sends a strong message,” she said.
Justice for Victims – and a Warning to Abusers
Judge HHJ Mattieson slammed Justice-Mills’ actions as “serious and horrific” and dismissed his diary as proof of his depravity, not remorse.
“There is no punishment I can give you that will rectify the impact on your victims,” the Judge told him.
Detective Chief Inspector Naomi Edwards of the Met’s Public Protection Unit urged victims and witnesses to come forward no matter how long ago the abuse happened.
If you have been a victim or have information, contact police on 101, or 999 in an emergency. Specialist officers are ready to help.
