ALEXANDER SHERWOOD SENTENCED IN LIVERPOOL FOR HORRIFIC CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE IN ROTHERHAM
A man identified as Alexander Sherwood has been handed a nearly two-decade prison sentence after being convicted of heinous crimes involving a child in Rotherham. The 52-year-old offender, who had committed a series of disturbing sexual acts against a young girl, fled the scene after learning that South Yorkshire Police had issued a warrant for his arrest. His escape led him to Liverpool, where authorities eventually located and apprehended him.Sherwood’s arrest followed a thorough investigation that culminated in his trial at Sheffield Crown Court in February. During the proceedings, he was found guilty of a total of 12 serious sexual offences. These included four counts of rape, four counts of assault by penetration, two counts of assault by touching, one charge of engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child, and another for causing a child to view sexual imagery. The gravity of these crimes underscores the severe impact on the victim and the importance of justice.
On the day of sentencing, which took place on a Monday, the court imposed a sentence of 19 years in prison. In addition to his incarceration, Sherwood was subjected to a lifelong sexual harm prevention order and an indefinite restraining order, designed to protect the victim and prevent any future contact. The court also mandated that Sherwood register as a sex offender for the remainder of his life, emphasizing the long-term consequences of his actions.
Law enforcement officials expressed their appreciation for the victim’s bravery in coming forward and cooperating with authorities. Detective Sergeant Fiona Trussell highlighted the importance of victim support, stating, “The bravery of the victim in this case must be commended; it takes a lot of courage to report something of this nature.” The case serves as a stark reminder of the critical need to support victims of sexual abuse and to hold offenders accountable, regardless of how long it takes for justice to be served.
