A YOUTH has been jailed for six years for sex offences including the rape of a young boy.

Jack Stampe, 19, of High Road, Newton, near Wisbech, appeared for sentencing at Norwich Crown Court last week.

The 19 year-old, who had first appeared before King’s Lynn magistrates last October, was also told by Recorder Guy Ayers he would be placed on the sex offenders’ register for life.

In addition to pleading guilty to the rape of a boy aged under 13 on July 27 last year, Stampe also admitted sexual activity with a girl, also under the age of 13, between July 21 and July 26 last year.

The court was told both offences took place in a Marshland village.
