DAVID BAINES FROM CLEETHORPES SENTENCED FOR SEXUAL OFFENSES INVOLVING YOUNG BOY AT HOLIDAY PARK

A man identified as David Baines, aged 48, from Cleethorpes, has been sentenced to two years in prison following serious allegations of sexual misconduct involving a young boy. The incident took place at a holiday park, where Baines targeted the child with inappropriate actions that have now led to his conviction.

According to court records, Baines admitted to engaging in sexual assault against the young boy, which included touching and kissing the child on multiple occasions. These offenses spanned over a period from 2014 to 2015, during which the victim was vulnerable and under Baines’s apparent influence. The court heard that Baines’s actions were not isolated but occurred repeatedly, causing significant distress to the young victim.

In addition to the prison sentence, the court recognized Baines’s expression of remorse during proceedings. As part of the sentencing, a sexual harm prevention order was imposed, which mandates that Baines must register as a sex offender for a period of ten years. This order is designed to monitor and restrict his activities to prevent any future offenses.

The case highlights the ongoing efforts of law enforcement and judicial authorities to address and combat sexual offenses against minors, especially those committed in seemingly innocent settings such as holiday parks. Baines’s conviction underscores the importance of vigilance and the need for protective measures to safeguard children from exploitation and abuse.
