Pensioner who sexually assaulted a child aged under 13 years old is spared jail
A pensioner who sexually assaulted a child at a community centre in Merton has avoided spending time in jail for the offence.
Cedric Daley, 79, admitted touching a girl under the age of 13 in a sexual manner at the New Horizon Centre in Pollards Hill on two separate occasions in September.
Appearing in Kingston Crown Court this morning, he was given a prison sentence of 18 months, suspended for two years.
This means if he does not re-offend, he will not go to jail.
Daley, whose registered address is in Enfield, north London, has been put on the sex offenders register for the next 10 years.
He must also attend a sex offender’s programme under supervision.
