Ricky Stubberfield

Ricky Stubberfield, 31, of Plympton, was sentenced to 26 years in prison at Plymouth Crown Court on 21 October 2025. He was found guilty by a jury of 23 sexual offences committed against multiple victims between 2013 and 2024. These offences comprised eight counts of rape, nine counts of sexual assault, four counts of digital penetration, indecent exposure, and the making of an indecent image of a child.

The court heard that Stubberfield, who operated a teeth-whitening business, used his social media presence to target young women with offers of free cosmetic treatments, which he then used as a pretext to abuse victims. Further abuse occurred at various locations, including a concert venue, between 2013 and 2022.

In passing the sentence, Judge Robert Lindford described the defendant's conduct as "utter remorseless predation." The jury was unable to reach a verdict on three additional charges of rape, digital penetration, and sexual assault, which remain unproven.
