LEE WEAVER FROM ASPLEY SENTENCED TO FIVE YEARS FOR SEXUAL OFFENCES INVOLVING YOUNG GIRLS IN NOTTINGHAM

In a significant case that has shocked the local community of Aspley, Lee Weaver, a 45-year-old resident of Beechdale Road, has been sentenced to five years in prison after being found guilty of multiple serious sexual offences involving young girls. The conviction was handed down following a comprehensive trial at Nottingham Crown Court, where the jury deliberated and determined Weaver's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Weaver’s criminal activities spanned over three decades, with his earliest known offences occurring in the mid-1980s. Between March 1985 and March 1986, he targeted vulnerable young girls under the age of 16, subjecting them to heinous acts including rape, indecent assault, and two counts of indecency with a child. These crimes were committed during a period when Weaver was in his late 30s, and they involved young victims who were unable to defend themselves against his predatory behavior.

More recently, Weaver’s offending continued into the 2010s. Between December 2014 and January 2015, he engaged in sexual activity with a girl under the age of 18. This later conviction underscores a disturbing pattern of abuse that persisted over many years, highlighting the danger posed by Weaver’s actions to the safety and well-being of young girls in the Nottingham area.

The court proceedings revealed the full extent of Weaver’s misconduct, and the jury’s verdict confirmed his guilt on all counts. The judge sentenced him to five years in prison, reflecting the severity of his crimes and the need for justice for his victims. Weaver’s actions have left a lasting impact on the victims and their families, and the community of Aspley now grapples with the aftermath of this troubling case.
