JOHN CUSACK SENTENCED TO FOUR YEARS IN GUERNSEY FOR HISTORIC INDECENT ASSAULTS
In June 2014, John Edward Cusack, 52, of no fixed address but originally from Guernsey, was sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to three counts of indecent assault against a young girl.
The assaults took place between 1991 and 1995.
Upon release, Cusack will be subject to a three-year extended sentence that includes conditions such as refraining from contacting the victim.
Judge Russell Finch described the crimes as "disgusting and deplorable." Crown Advocate Fiona Russell, who prosecuted the case, stated that the assaults had caused significant lasting impact on the victim’s life, including difficulties in her relationship with her own children, who she is reluctant to take out in public due to fears for their safety.
Defence Advocate David Domaille argued for a reduced sentence, citing Cusack's admission of guilt and his repeated written apologies, in which he acknowledged he was "completely guilty and needed to be sentenced." Judge Finch noted that the sentence took into account Cusack’s danger to children and emphasized that during his time in prison, he would be required to undergo treatment to address his behavior.
