KEVIN BROCK OF CAMBRIDGE SENTENCED TO 32 YEARS FOR ABUSE AND CHILD PORNOGRAPHY

In a disturbing case that has shocked the community of Cambridge, Kevin Brock, a 28-year-old man residing on Cam Causeway, has been sentenced to a total of 32 years in prison following his conviction on multiple serious charges related to the sexual abuse of young girls and possession of indecent images of children.

The criminal activities of Brock came to light in December 2021 when a family member discovered messages on one of the victim's devices. These messages revealed that Brock had been grooming and abusing two girls, both under the age of 13, during the year 2021. The younger of the two victims was subjected to rape on three separate occasions, a revelation that has deeply distressed the community and highlighted the severity of his crimes.

In addition to the assaults on these two girls, Brock had also engaged in a disturbing pattern of online grooming. Over a period of several years, he targeted a third girl, also under 13, on TikTok.
