A fiend dad who sexually violated a child after plying her with meth in a city hotel room left has been made a registered sex offender.

Harrison Oakley, 22, was sentenced in the County Court on Monday to an 18-month community correction order after pleading guilty to sexual penetration of a child under 16.

Oakley, who also pleaded guilty to supplying drugs to a child, fed his 15-year-old victim drugs including speed over several weeks in late-2020.

The Sunbury dad then arranged to stay in a hotel with the child where he plied his victim with meth and sexually violated her multiple times.

Police seeking the missing child found the victim and a friend in a room at the city hotel.

Police arrested Oakley at his parents’ Sunbury home on December 15.

Oakley, now unemployed and living in Glenroy, admitted his offending when questioned by police.

The court was told Oakley asked his victim to marry him.

The child, in her victim impact statement read to the court, said the offending left her feeling “mad”.

“I felt ashamed that I got myself into this …,” the victim said.

“I felt mad … I honestly felt hopeless …

“I felt if I didn't do what he wanted me to do he would leave me … I would have nightmares of him on top of me …

“My life has changed … I can no longer wear shorts or anything that shows my skin because I feel so disgusted with myself

“The old me is gone and I have you (Oakley) to thank for that”

“I will never trust a man again … it still haunts me … I honestly wish that you can feel what I feel.”

The court heard Oakley, a dad, worked for his uncle but had dabbled in many different education and employment opportunities.

The defence submitted Oakley was “intelligent” but “vulnerable” and he was prone to bullying.

Judge Wendy Wilmoth ordered Oakley perform 100 hours of unpaid community work and undertake drug and alcohol treatment and counselling.

Oakley, who was made a registered sex offender for 15 years, must also undertake a sex offender treatment program.
