Survivor of child sex offender Calvin Jaxson Hill speaks out

A sex abuse victim groomed online by a “monster” more than twice her age has delivered a chilling speech warning children are at risk more than ever before.

A sex abuse victim groomed online by a “monster” more than twice her age has delivered a chilling speech warning children are at risk more than ever before.

The woman, who is now 20-years-old, was just 13 when she met Chatswood resident Calvin Jaxson Hill on Kik, an online messaging app, in 2014.

The court heard Hill pretended he was 17, when he was really 32.

She was also unaware Hill had been deported from the United States earlier that year by the Oregon District Court, after grooming a 17-year-old online, before raping her.

Child protection expert Hetty Johnson said children are more at risk of being sex assault victims than ever before.

“How is anybody supposed to live comfortably with the knowledge these sinister people are out there ruining children’s lives … taking away their innocence?” the woman told The NSW District Court on Tuesday.

“I am concerned for the younger generation, as well as the families who cannot protect the victim … due to social media and its ever growing popularity and (the abuser’s) ease of access to a wide range of platforms with little difficulty.”

Calvin Jaxson Hill, 39, will be sentenced next week after pleading guilty to several charges including grooming and having sexual intercourse with a child.

The woman told the court how Hill “brainwashed” her, introducing a BDSM element early on to control her thoughts.

“Before long, I almost completely stopped paying attention in class because I was so fixated on (him). How disgusting and twisted can one individual be to conduct this elaborate lie to a child, to brainwash and seduce a child,” she told the court.

“I’m only just starting to understand the full extent of the damage this kind of abuse has left me with.”

Judge Nicole Noman SC told the court the woman lost four years of her childhood.

“She was not involved in a teenage romance, which she thought she was,” she told the court.

Child protection expert Hetty Johnson said the case highlighted how children were more at risk of being sex assault victims than ever before.

“It used to be that children were sexually assaulted in the physical world. But increasingly children are being targeted by predators online,” Ms Johnson said.

“Children are influenced enormously by the online world and it distorts their reality. This particular young girl thought it was normal, but she did not realise Hill’s behaviour was illegal, improper and damaging to her life. Every single child is at risk.”
