Alexander Fredericks was sentenced at Isleworth Crown Court on Thursday, March 26, to four years and three months in prison.
He admitted offences against two teenage girls, including sexual assault, assault by penetration, taking indecent photographs of a child, witness intimidation and causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent.
The court heard that in January 2022, Fredericks began messaging a 15-year-old girl.
She felt the messages were becoming “weird” and he insisted on picking her up from school and travelling with her on the Tube.

He kissed her against her wishes and sexually assaulted her at the Hurlingham Club in Fulham, south-west London, where he was a member.
Ms Chawla said: “He had pressured her to drink alcohol and threatened to kill himself when she tried to get away.”
After she blocked him, Fredericks contacted her through another person in August 2022, requesting naked photographs and offering up to £900.
He also tried to pay her to meet him.
On a later occasion at the club, he again forced her to drink, touched her stomach and tried to kiss her before she ran away.
Fredericks was arrested in October 2022 but later contacted the girl again, falsely claiming police were taking no further action and threatening to sue her if she did not corroborate his version of events.
In her victim impact statement, the girl described feeling anxiety, shame and a loss of confidence.
In a separate offence, Fredericks messaged a 17-year-old girl on Snapchat in September 2022, pretending to represent Teen Vogue and offering her a modelling shoot.
She met him at a hotel and was pressured into drinking wine and vodka.
While intoxicated, she agreed to topless photographs.
Fredericks then began masturbating.
The girl told the court she now lives with “constant fear” and said the experience “withered down” her self-confidence.
Detective inspector Will Peel praised the victims, calling their bravery “extraordinary.”
Judge Adenike Balogun described Fredericks’ actions as “These were serious offences involving sexual exploitation and psychological domination of a vulnerable person which have had devastating and long-lasting consequences for both victims.”
A 10-year restraining order was imposed, preventing Fredericks from contacting the victims.
Kate Chidgey, defending, said Fredericks is “absolutely appalled” by his actions and is remorseful after what happened.
