Sex abuser threatened to kill boy

10:52am Monday 30th January 2012 in New Forest

A HAMPSHIRE man has been found guilty of a series of sexual offences against a schoolboy.

Kieran Bunday threatened to kill his victim if he told anyone, a court was told.

He also threatened the boy with an air rifle, pinned him against a wall, told him he had a knife, and repeatedly punched him before launching a frightening campaign of abuse which went on for several years.

Bunday, pictured, 24, who lives in Forester Road, Blackfield, carried out the crimes in Bournemouth.

He was found guilty of four charges of rape, two of sexual assault, two of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent and one of indecency with a child.

A jury at Bournemouth Crown Court heard the victim had suffered depression, nightmares and incidents of self-harm.

Prosecuting, Simon Jones told the court the boy “finally cracked and told his mother what had happened to him” last year.

Bunday is due to be sentenced on February 24.
