A SOUTHAMPTON man who had an illicit relationship with a teenage girl has been jailed for three-and-a-half years.

A judge told Ryan Moger, 22, that he had entered “a no-go area” when he continued seeing the girl, despite a court order and a civil injunction.

The city crown court heard that last July Moger had appeared in court for abducting the 15-year-old and had received a suspended sentence.

Her mother afterwards took out a civil injunction against him to protect her daughter.

However, the pair continued seeing other, said prosecutor Adam Feest.

It was not until police had launched an investigation into another unrelated case of alleged abduction that they discovered the pair had remained in contact and she had been seen in his car, even though he was banned from the road.

After the court hearing, their affair lasted for another four months but then the teenager discovered he had been seeing someone else and she made a detailed statement to the police about their sexual relationship.

Moger, of Vine Road, Southampton, appeared for sentence for having unlawful sexual activity with the girl, abducting her and driving while disqualified and without insurance.

Recorder Stephen Clinie jailed him for three-and-a-half years after part-activating suspended sentences imposed for the earlier offence of abduction as well as burglary, blackmail and attempted fraud.

Moger was also banned from driving for a further two years and made subject to a five-year restraining order preventing him from contacting the girl.

He was placed on the sex offenders’ register and under a sexual harm prevention order, banning him from being alone with any girl under 16. Both will run for ten years.

The judge, who read probation and psychological reports, said: “This was a no-go area which you knew well and it represents a blatant disregard for court orders.

“I accept from the reports you have limited abilities but that is no excuse for your offending.”
