GEORGE CAIN FROM FOREST TOWN SENTENCED FOR DECADES-OLD ABUSE IN NOTTINGHAMSHIRE

In a case that spanned over two decades, a man from Forest Town has been brought to justice for a series of heinous crimes committed against a young girl. George Cain, now aged 56, was found guilty of repeatedly abusing the victim over a period of five years during the late 1990s and early 2000s. The disturbing allegations only came to light when the victim, demonstrating remarkable courage and resilience, decided to report the abuse to the police in 2018.

Following her disclosure, specialist detectives from Nottinghamshire Police launched a comprehensive investigation. Over several months, they meticulously gathered evidence and interviewed numerous witnesses to piece together the details of the abuse. Despite Cain, who is also known by the alias Andy Cain, denying all allegations and claiming that the victim was fabricating the story during police interviews, the evidence collected was compelling.

After a thorough examination of the case, a jury at Nottingham Crown Court found Cain guilty of five counts of indecent assault involving a girl under the age of 16. These charges encompassed multiple instances of abuse, highlighting a pattern of predatory behavior that spanned years.

Cain, who resides on Old Mill Lane in Forest Town, was sentenced to a decade in prison immediately following the verdict. The judge’s decision underscores the severity of his crimes and the importance of protecting vulnerable individuals from such predatory acts. The sentencing took place during a court hearing on the Friday of the trial, marking a significant moment of justice for the victim and the community of Forest Town.
