Matthew Jenkins, a 34-year-old man from Gravesend, has been sentenced to an extended 26-year sentence for multiple child sex offences, including rape. Jenkins, of St George’s Crescent, was arrested in August 2021 after reports surfaced that he had targeted young victims over a six-year period from 2015 to 2021.
Detective Constable Jack Evans, who led the investigation, stated, “Jenkins is a manipulative predator who abused young children for his own sexual gratification. His depraved actions will have a lasting impact on the victims, and I would like to commend their courage in reporting the abuse to the police. I hope the fact that he is now serving a lengthy sentence allows those he targeted to move on from their appalling ordeal.”
