BENJAMIN BULL SENTENCED TO 13 YEARS FOR SEXUAL OFFENSES IN WATERLOOVILLE AND PETERSFIELD
Benjamin Bull, a 40-year-old resident of Clare Gardens in Petersfield, has been sentenced to a lengthy prison term of 13 years following a series of heinous sexual crimes committed in Waterlooville. The conviction came after a jury found him guilty on May 20 of five separate charges related to offenses against a young girl, which took place during 2020 and 2021.These charges included the rape of a child under the age of 13, causing a child to observe a sexual act, inciting or encouraging a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity, and two counts of assaulting a child under 13 through penetration. The severity of these crimes underscores the grave nature of Bull’s actions and the profound impact on the victim.
Following the five-day trial at Portsmouth Crown Court, the presiding judge acknowledged the remarkable bravery of the young girl who came forward to testify. Her courage in speaking out was highlighted as a pivotal element in securing justice. The judge also emphasized that Benjamin Bull remains a significant threat to the safety of the public, especially to young girls, and must be kept under strict supervision.
In addition to his prison sentence, Bull was subjected to an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order, which aims to restrict his activities and prevent further offenses. He was also ordered to register as a sex offender for life, ensuring ongoing monitoring and public safety measures.
Detective Constable Hannah Owen, a member of the Eastern Child Abuse Investigation Team, expressed her support for the victim’s bravery. She stated, “The victim in this case showed immeasurable bravery in coming forward and incredible courage throughout the investigation and court process. Without her, we would not have secured this result.”
She further added, “We are very happy with today’s outcome, which means that Bull will now face the consequences of his predatory and unthinkable actions. I am pleased we can give the victim the outcome the case deserved and sincerely hope that this sentence helps her begin to move forward with her life.”
