JOHN WALKER FROM COSSINGTON ESCAPES JAIL AFTER SEXUAL ASSAULT ON 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL IN LEICESTER
In a highly controversial decision, a former police officer named John Walker, aged 53, from Cossington, was recently granted a lenient sentence after admitting to a disturbing sexual assault involving a young girl. The incident took place during a sleepover at Walker’s residence, where he committed an act of indecency against a 12-year-old girl, an event that has left a lasting impact on her life.According to court reports, Walker entered the girl’s bedroom while she was pretending to sleep. Under the cover of darkness, he inappropriately touched her by putting his hand inside her underwear. The girl, overwhelmed by fear and shock, later became physically ill but was too frightened to disclose the assault at the time. This silence persisted until she was able to seek help, revealing the trauma that would forever alter her sense of safety and trust.
The court heard that Walker, a father himself, was overcome with feelings of disgust during the assault and stopped his actions. His reaction was noted during the proceedings, and it was cited as a reason for the judge’s decision. The incident occurred in Leicester, but Walker’s residence in Cossington was also highlighted during the case.
Following the assault, Walker took an overdose, an act that underscored his distress and remorse. Despite the severity of his actions, Judge Christopher Metcalf decided against sending him to prison. Instead, Walker was sentenced to three years of community rehabilitation and was placed on the sex offenders’ register. This decision sparked outrage among child protection advocates and charity organizations.
ChildLine’s director, Denise Robertson, publicly criticized the leniency of the sentence, emphasizing the devastating impact such abuse has on children. She stated, “Abuse devastates children. Sentences must reflect the damage done to victims.” The case has reignited debates about the adequacy of sentencing for sexual offenses involving minors and the importance of prioritizing victim protection and justice.
