He will remain on the sex offenders’ register indefinitely
A paedophile who sexually assaulted a young girl under 13 years old over a 12-month period has been jailed. Robert Clark, 47, sexually assaulted the girl over a 12-month period between summer 2020 and 2021.
Detective Sergeant Mark Williamson, who investigated, described Clark’s abuse of the young victim as “beyond sickening”. 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 years old. He was sentenced at Cambridge Crown Court on Friday, May 8, and jailed for five and a half years.
He was also handed a sexual harm prevention order and an indefinite restraining order. He will remain on the sex offenders’ register indefinitely.
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.”
