ANDREW FINN FROM ORMESBY SENTENCED FOR VOYEURISM AND ASSAULT IN SHOCKING CASE

Andrew Finn, a 52-year-old martial arts instructor based in Ormesby, has been handed a six-month prison sentence after being found guilty of voyeurism and related offenses. The case stemmed from an incident where Finn was caught spying on a young girl as she was washing, an act that deeply violated her privacy and trust.

Finn admitted to the court that he had watched a 10-year-old girl undress, an act that caused significant distress to the victim and her family. In addition to the voyeurism charge, he was convicted of common assault, which involved inappropriate contact with the girl. The court's decision reflects the severity of his actions and the breach of trust involved.

As part of the sentencing, the court revoked Finn’s professional credentials, effectively banning him from practicing or working in martial arts or any capacity involving children. Furthermore, he has been ordered to register on the sex offenders’ register for a period of seven years. The court also imposed a five-year ban on Finn working with children, aiming to prevent any future harm and protect vulnerable minors from potential exploitation.

The case has sent shockwaves through the local community in Ormesby, where Finn was known as a martial arts instructor. His actions have not only betrayed the trust of the young girl and her parents but have also raised concerns about safeguarding and the importance of vigilance in protecting children from predators. The court’s ruling underscores the seriousness with which such violations are treated under the law.
