KEVIN GARTON FROM HUNMANBY SENTENCED FOR CHILD SEX OFFENSES IN YORK

In a recent court hearing held at York Crown Court, Kevin Garton, a 46-year-old resident of Harborough Close in Hunmanby, was handed down a significant sentence after admitting to engaging in sexual activities with a minor. The court's decision came after Garton pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual activity with a child, a serious criminal offense that has garnered considerable attention in the local community.

Following the guilty plea, the judge imposed a three-year community order on Garton, emphasizing the importance of rehabilitation and community safety. As part of this order, Garton will be under strict supervision by the probation service for the next three years.

This program is designed to address underlying issues related to his offending behavior, with the goal of reducing the risk of reoffending and promoting his reintegration into society in a safe and controlled manner. The court's decision reflects a balance between punishment and the potential for rehabilitation, with a focus on protecting the community from future harm.
