Description
Following a Warwickshire Police investigation, a 35-year-old man has been sentenced for child sex offences.
Justin McGarry of Emscote Road, Warwick appeared at Warwick Crown Court yesterday (Monday 30 June).
In 2020, we received a report of sexual offences against a child in the Leamington area over a five year period.
An investigation commenced and McGarry was arrested and subsequently charged.
Last week, he was found guilty of eight counts of sexual abuse of a child under 13 years of age. He has now been sentenced to nine years’ imprisonment and will be on the Sex Offenders Register indefinitely.
Following the outcome, Det Sergeant Stephen Barr said: “Justin McGarry caused suffering to the victim and their family which is lifelong, and it is because of their courage to come forward that we have been able to see him brought to justice.
“We are grateful to everyone who worked to support us from the point of receiving the initial report through to the day of sentencing.
“I hope this conviction demonstrates that Warwickshire Police are determined to bring offenders to justice, serving and protecting our communities with compassion and a victim focus. To anyone who has suffered sexual abuse, please do not suffer in silence and do not be afraid to tell someone.”
