Sentenced to 12 years in prison for string of sexual offences
A 33-year-old man has been sentenced to 12 years in prison after pleading guilty to a string of sexual offences.
Charles Tetley, of Kings Road, Long Clawson, near Melton, was sentenced, today, at Leicester Crown Court.
He had pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to five counts of rape; attempted rape; eight counts of assault by penetration; three counts of sexual assault, and 10 counts of making indecent images of children.
The conviction relates to a number of offences against one person, which he committed between January 2011 and October 2013.
Speaking after the hearing, Detective Constable Mike Buckey, the investigating officer in the case, praised his victim’s bravery in coming forward.
He said: “The victim has shown immense bravery throughout the investigation and court process.
“Fortunately, because Tetley pleaded guilty to the offences she has been spared the trauma of reliving what happened to her in the court room.”
Det Con Buckley added: “I hope that the sentence passed today, and Tetley’s admission, will help the victim move on with her life and put the events of those two and half years behind her.”
