A Taxi driver has been found guilty of raping and sexually assaulting a girl
who was living in a children’s home.
Darren Hyett (54), of Broom Chase, Rotherham, was convicted at Sheffield
Crown Court yesterday (Monday) of one count of rape and two counts of sexual
assault following a two-week trial.
He was cleared of four counts of rape, one count of causing a person to
engage in sexual activity with a child and perverting the course of justice.
The jury failed to reach a verdict on a further count of rape.
Hyett sexually abused the girl when she was living at St Edmund’s Care Home,
Thurcroft, as a teenager while he was working for A1 Taxis. He groomed her
with gifts, money, drink and drugs.
He was aged between 40 and 44 when the offences took place, between 2004 and
2007. The complainant was aged between 15 and 18.
Hyett has been remanded into custody and will be sentenced at Sheffield
Crown Court on October 12.
Rotherham Borough Council has been contacted for a comment.
Hyett was charged as part of the National Crime Agency’s investigation into
historic CSE in the town – dubbed Operation Stovewood – between 1997 and
2013.
This was the fourth Operation Stovewood trial. To date, 35 people have been
arrested, of whom 18 have been charged and six convicted.
