Description
A paedophile who sexually touched a young girl has been jailed.
Edwin Timewell, 58, assaulted the girl at a house in Peterborough at about 10am on 21 December 2024.
The girl alerted her parents and police were called.
Timewell admitted to officers he had touched the girl and said he didn’t know what he was doing.
On Wednesday (29 April), at Cambridge Crown Court, Timewell, of Essex Road, Stamford, Lincolnshire, was jailed for two years, having pleaded guilty to assaulting a girl under 13 by touching.
He was also ordered to sign the Sex Offenders Register until January 2036 and handed sexual harm prevention and restraining orders until April 2036.
Detective Sergeant Steph Parker said:
“Timewell claimed he didn’t know what he was doing in that moment but offences like this can have huge impacts on victims and their families and that is reflected in the sentence given by the court.”
