A residential support worker who began a relationship with a 15-year-old girl in a Lincolnshire children’s home was jailed for five years and four months
.
The court was told Geeson used his position of trust to begin grooming the girl after she was placed at the home in south Lincolnshire. “Sexual intercourse took place on at least five more occasions until he was suspended and then dismissed in June 2020,” Mr Dee added. In a moving impact statement which she bravely read out in court, Geeson’s victim, who can not be named, described how her life had been changed.“At that point in my life what I needed was to be cared for and to be safe.”John McNally, mitigating, argued Geeson had genuine feelings in the relationship despite having his own partner and children.
