Seventy-Four-Year-Old Sentenced for Abuse | Leicester News

A 74-year-old man convicted of sexually assaulting a young girl in the mid-2000s has been sentenced to six years in prison. After initially denying the charges, he was found guilty by a jury of two counts of assault by penetration and two counts of sexual assault. He’s now on the sex offender register indefinitely and under a restraining order. The victim bravely testified during trial at Leicester Crown Court, and Detective Constable Katie Harris praised her courage, urging other survivors to come forward — no matter how long ago the abuse occurred. The case, handled by Leicestershire Police’s Child Abuse Investigation Unit, marks a major step toward justice and closure for the survivor.
