Description
A paedophile who sexually assaulted a young girl has been jailed for five-and-a-half years.
Robert Clark, 47, sexually assaulted the girl over a 12-month period between summer 2020 and 2021.
The abuse came to light after the girl told her mum what had happened and she went to the police.
Clark, of Fairfields Crescent, St Ives, was found guilty following a trial of two counts of sexual activity with a child under 13.
He was sentenced at Cambridge Crown Court on Friday (8 May) and handed a sexual harm prevention order, an indefinite restraining order and an indefinite order to remain on the sex offenders’ register.
Detective Sergeant Mark Williamson, who investigated, said:
“Clark’s abuse of the young victim was beyond sickening.
“I would like to praise the victim and her family for the bravery and composure they have shown throughout this whole ordeal.
“I would encourage anyone who has been a victim of sexual assault to please come forward and report it to us, you will be taken seriously and we will investigate thoroughly.”
