BILBOROUGH BROTHERS SENTENCED AFTER HORRIFIC CATALOGUE OF CRIMES
Two brothers involved in horrific sexual crimes have been sentenced to prison after being convicted of multiple offenses spanning over a quarter of a century.Andrew Clark, aged 38, and his younger brother Jason Clark, aged 35, were found guilty last year of a series of serious sexual abuses against children.
The convicted individuals appeared in court on Tuesday, April 5, to receive their sentences following their trial.
Both received significant prison terms for their actions.
Jason Clark, formerly residing on Denewood Crescent in Bilborough, was convicted of multiple sex offenses against two minors during that period.
Jason Clark, a father of seven, was sentenced for four counts of indecent assault against a girl under 14 and two counts of raping a girl under 16.
The brothers were also convicted of jointly raping a girl under 16 on two separate occasions.
Jason Clark's sentence totals 10 years, with half to be served in custody and the remaining half on license after release.
The judge noted that his criminal activity ceased when he reached adulthood.
Detective Constable Ruth Statham of Nottinghamshire Police, leading the investigation, expressed gratitude to the victims for their courage in speaking out.
She emphasised the importance of their bravery, especially from those who previously feared or doubted being believed.
The detective assured that the police would continue to pursue justice regardless of how long ago the crimes occurred.
She described the acts committed by Andrew and Jason as unspeakable and hoped their convictions would provide some closure for the victims.
Statham credited the detailed and lengthy investigation to the dedication of the prosecution team, including lawyer Anne McCarroll and prosecutor Sally Hobson.
She concluded by stating that both brothers would have to face the consequences of their actions and reflect on the suffering they caused.
