A 36-year-old man from Calne has been sentenced to 19 years in prison at Swindon Crown Court in Wiltshire after pleading guilty to several sexual offences against a teenage girl. Stuart Miller was sentenced on February 10, 2026, following a two-year investigation into crimes that took place between 2019 and 2023.
According to Wiltshire Police, Miller admitted to 14 charges, including multiple counts of rape, sexual assault, and creating indecent images of a child. The investigation began after the victim told a friend about the abuse, which led to a report being made to police in September 2023.
Police used specialized digital forensic teams to find hidden photos of the abuse that Miller thought he had deleted or secured in a private folder. This technical evidence was a major factor in the case and eventually led to Miller entering a guilty plea.
Detective Investigator Francesca Mason praised the victim for her bravery throughout the long and difficult legal process. She described Miller as a “predatory offender” and stated that she hoped the sentence gives the victim a chance to find closure and move forward with her life.
Miller will serve 14 years and eight months in prison, with the remainder of his 19-year sentence served on licence. This means he will be released into the community after his prison term but will remain under strict supervision by authorities for several years.
