Description

He pleaded guilty to six counts of indecent assault, four of those counts related to offences committed between 1980 and 1985 against his cousin, then a girl aged from 7 to 11 years. The indictment asserted that she was a girl under the age of 13 which was then of relevance to the maximum sentence.

The other two counts related to offences committed between 1988 and 1994 against his niece, when she too was aged from 7 to 12 years old. On 18 June 2010 His Honour Judge Hooton imposed a Community Order with a supervision requirement for three years. A Sexual Offences Prevention Order was imposed to run indefinitely, the precise details of which have no bearing on the Reference. The offender was also made subject to the requirements of the Sex Offenders Register.
