DJ jailed for 11 years after having a sexual relationship with a 14 year old schoolgirl and fathering a child with her

A DJ who fathered a child by a 14-year old schoolgirl after he groomed her into believing they were having an affair has been jailed for 11 years.
Kirk Wilding, 43, of Wigan, Greater Manchester, treated the victim as his secret girlfriend over a six-month period after earlier taking her mother out on dates.
The father-of-two ignored a police notice warning him to keep away from her and instead repeatedly met up - falsely claiming their friendship was platonic. Wilding was arrested after a witness at a house party caught him having sex with the girl.

Detectives also found hundreds of text messages between the two. One exchange read: 'Love u darling xxx' and she replied: 'It's u and I, don't want any 1 else.'
The girl initially refused to make a complaint against Wilding - but last May told police that he had groomed her. Now 15, she gave birth to his son last month.
At Bolton Crown Court, he admitted penetrative sexual activity with a child and child abduction. He was handed a restraining order to stay away from the girl indefinitely.
Despite his convictions and imprisonment, Wilding will still be able to fight for the right to get access to the child under family court laws.

In a statement, the girl said: 'I've not been going to school and lost friends as a result of what happened. I feel isolated and trapped. I couldn't make sense of things at first - now I have been able to step back and see what was happening to me.
Victim's statement about Kirk Wilding

'I've not been going to school and lost friends as a result of what happened. I feel isolated and trapped. I couldn't make sense of things at first - now I have been able to step back and see what was happening to me.
'I was controlled by him and he turned me against my family and I couldn't say anything because of what he was doing to me. I lost big part of what it was like being a teenager. I had Kirk on the phone all the time and he made me call him and I felt I had no choice.
'I now worry about how I tell the baby and about how people will judge me for having a baby in this sort of situation. It will have an impact on me for the rest of my life.
'Kirk will not have any sort of role in the baby's life but I feel paranoid about going out and wonder if he will be out and about and try and contact the baby. I don't want any contact with him at all.'

'Kirk will not have any sort of role in the baby's life but I feel paranoid about going out and wonder if he will be out and about and try and contact the baby. I don't want any contact with him at all.'
Wilding initially denied an affair with the girl and only confessed when a DNA paternity test proved he was the father of her child.
Sentencing, Judge Abigail Hudson told him: 'Your impact on this girl has been disastrous. Your behaviour was manipulative and controlling and will harm her for the rest of her life.

'I have concluded that you are something of a pathological liar. You will say anything to try and avoid responsibility for your wrongdoing. You denied sexual impropriety until it emerged she was pregnant with your child. It took locking you up before you stopped.
'I see from a report that you blame her and suggest she instigated all sexual activity and you effectively couldn't get rid of her. I cannot believe anything you say to me and you remain a significant risk of causing future harm.

'Sadly she will always know her little boy has a connection to you. It is the court's wish that she overcomes all the wrongs committed against her and is able to create a happy and stable home for her and her son.

'She has been placed in a very difficult position in particular for someone of her tender years. I just hope she gets all the support she could possibly need.'
Earlier, prosecutor Gavin Howie said Wilding began preying on the girl in June last year after he befriended her mother.
'She started to stay away from home and her relationship with her mother became strained,' he said.
'A referral was made to social services but the girl was found at the defendant's address. This led to him being issued of a child abduction notice as her family did not consent to the defendant having any contact with the girl.

'She went missing against at was located by police at the defendant's home.. He said he had let her in as he said she was feeling suicidal. He said he knew he should have contacted the police but he was worried about her mental health.
'The girl and her mother later attended a party where the defendant was also a guest. The mother went home but the girl stayed because it was arranged she would stay over.
'The following morning, the host of the party found the defendant lying on the top of the girl with nothing on his bottom half. He quickly rolled over and pulled the covers over them but the witness concluded they were having sex and told them to go.'
The mother was told about the incident but Wilding claimed the witness was a 'liar.' The girl then went missing again before returning home drunk with 'love bites' on her neck.

She denied having a boyfriend but after her family alerted social services, officials seized a pair of the youngster's underwear and sent it for forensic examination which found traces of Wilding's semen.
She later underwent a pregnancy test which proved positive, following which she went missing again and was found with Wilding. He was arrested shortly afterwards with the girl found asleep on his sofa.

He gave no comment in an interview and later, when asked if the pair were having a sexual relationship, he replied: 'Oh God no!'
The girl gave her statement while 29 weeks pregnant after DNA tests proved Wilding was the father of her child.

She said Wilding had engaged in 'controlling and grooming' behaviour towards her and would watch her taking showers and throw temper tantrums in front of her.
Tom Watson, defending Wilding, said: 'He has had a lot of time to reflect and is ashamed and embarrassed by his behaviour.'
Wilding was also ordered to sign on the sex offender's register and abide by the terms of an indefinite sexual harm prevention order.

Sad story. No-one wins in this situation. It shows why adult-minor relationships aren't a good idea in society as it stands, though. The risks are just too high when it goes wrong.
