Nathan Walker 35

Description

A Sheffield man has been found guilty of two child sex offences.

Nathan Walker, 35, previously of Sicey Avenue in the Firth Park area of the city, was found guilty of sexual offences against a schoolgirl following a trial at Sheffield Crown Court last week.

The first offence happened when his victim was just 14 years old and she was left to feel "disgusted" by what happened to her.

PC Elisabeth Slack, investigating, said: "Walker's offending was sinister and manipulative. He took advantage of a young girl who was so terrified she felt that she had to suffer in silence and couldn't speak out about what happened. 

"No child should be subjected to the abuse she suffered at such a young age, and I want to commend her bravery and courage in coming forward and telling us about the traumatic events inflicted on her by Walker.

"We are pleased a guilty verdict has been returned and we hope the sentence he receives reflects the severity of the crimes he has committed."

Following a trial, a jury found Walker guilty of two counts of engaging in sexual activity with a child at Sheffield Crown Court last Monday (9 October).

He was found not guilty on another count of engaging in sexual activity with a child. Walker has been remanded into custody and is due to appear before Sheffield Crown Court on 1 December for sentencing.
