Serial sex offender and fraudster, Adam Wyles, jailed for two years at Norwich Crown Court

A serial fantasist and sex offender who claimed to be Boris Johnson’s bodyguard, has been jailed.

Adam Wyles, 35, was sentenced to two years in prison for posing as an insurance claims assessor in an attempt to scam £13,500 from a Norfolk amusement park.

It was the latest deception from a man who has previously claimed to be a police officer and a music impresario, often in order to gain access to young girls.

He even posed as an army medic in order to work in a refugee camp for Ukrainians.

Appearing at Norwich Crown Court this week, the paedophile, from Yarmouth, Norfolk was also sentenced for breaching a sexual harm prevention order (SHPO) after becoming a swimming coach.

The court was told he had a “long history of dishonesty”.

James Ivory, prosecuting, said the latest incident had seen Wyles attempt to defraud Hirsty's Family Fun Park in Hemsby in a bid to claim damages for injuries sustained by his sister.

But the amusement park owner alerted police after becoming suspicious when he sent fake documents and photos of supposed injuries.

He was then arrested in Hopton on December 3 last year on suspicion of breaching an SHPO banning him from contact with under-16s.

This was after officers learned of his involvement with two 15-year-old girls in Suffolk where he had also become a volunteer at a swimming club.

Mr Ivory said the breaches of the order had posed a “risk of very serious harm”.

Wyles had been subject of a SHPO since 2015 after being convicted for having indecent images of children.

The following year he was jailed in Essex after luring a 15-year-old harpist to a London hotel while posing as a music impresario.

He had befriended her online with the offer of setting up a concert to play for MPs.

He even pretended to be Boris Johnson's bodyguard to win over the trust of the youngster's mother.

In 2020 Norwich Crown Court heard that Wyles had breached the requirements of the SHPO by tricking a charity that supports children with disabilities into letting him drive on a trip to Europe.

Then in March last year he was banned from leaving the UK after he travelled to Poland to deliver aid to refugees fleeing from the war in Ukraine.

He also offered to rescue children from a Ukrainian orphanage.

The court hearing this week was told he had posed as an army medic and had even given morphine injections as part of his deception.

When he was arrested for his latest offences, police discovered a hidden first aid kit containing a medic vest and syringes with painkillers including oxycodone.

Two stolen police signs were also found in the boot of his car.

His long history of offending includes him twice being caught posing as a police officer, the court heard.

Other previous offending included befriending a woman with a young daughter while working as an electrician at a holiday park in Hopton, and attempting to solicit the services of an underage sex worker, the court heard.

And last December, Ipswich Town Football Club ended its contract with a company providing matchday stewards after they employed Wyles to work in a position that gave him access to children.

Jailing him for two years and one month for breaches of a SHPO, fraud, theft and possession of class A and class C drugs, Judge Alice Robinson said the offences were “seriously aggravated” by his previous convictions.

She also approved an application to toughen up his existing SHPO after hearing his behaviour was “predatory, deceitful and dishonest” and that he “admits a sexual attraction to young girls”.

Additional restrictions were placed on his use of electronic devices while a ban on him travelling overseas was extended for a further five years.

However, Judge Robinson declined a police application that he be forced to undertake regular lie detector tests saying it would be “unworkable”.

John Morgans, mitigating, said his previous offences were “concerning” but that he was seeking help in prison to “move away from his past”.
