ANTHONY COULSON OF COLCHESTER SENT TO PRISON FOR CHILD ABUSE

In September 2012, a 79-year-old man from Colchester, Anthony Coulson, was sentenced to a lengthy prison term after being found guilty of multiple serious crimes involving the sexual abuse of two young girls. Coulson, a resident of Cyril Child Close in the Greenstead area of Colchester, faced justice at Chelmsford Crown Court for his heinous actions.

According to court records, Coulson admitted to a series of disturbing offenses, including rape, attempted rape, and indecent assault. The crimes were committed against two girls whose ages ranged from five to twelve years old at the time of the abuse, highlighting the severity and the predatory nature of his misconduct.

The court proceedings revealed the extent of Coulson’s crimes, which involved systematic abuse over a period of time. The details of the case underscored the vulnerability of the victims and the gravity of Coulson’s violations of their trust and innocence.

After considering the evidence and Coulson’s admissions, the judge handed down a sentence of 12 years in prison, reflecting the serious nature of the offenses and the need for justice for the victims. Coulson’s conviction and subsequent imprisonment serve as a stark reminder of the importance of safeguarding children and the consequences faced by those who exploit their innocence.
