    Addison Browne has received a further nine years and four months in prison after pleading guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl.

    The sentence, delivered by Justice Ann-Marie Smith on Wednesday, will run consecutively with a 13-year term Browne is already serving for a separate offence involving another 13-year-old in 2019. His total sentence now exceeds 22 years.

    The latest offence occurred in 2020. Browne changed his plea to guilty before trial, avoiding a full hearing.

    He was previously convicted of raping a child he had offered a ride alongside her aunt. After dropping the aunt at the St John’s Police Station, Browne drove the girl to a remote area in Potters, where he bound and assaulted her before returning her home. The victim later testified to the traumatic experience during the 2022 trial.

    Browne, a former bus driver, is being held at His Majesty’s Prison. Wednesday’s sentencing marks the conclusion of the second case brought against him.
