LESLEY PENNICK FROM HEYBRIDGE JAILED FOR SEXUAL OFFENCES AGAINST CHILDREN NEAR MALDON
In a case that has shocked the local community near Maldon, Leslie Pennick, a 66-year-old man from Goldhanger Road, Heybridge, has been sentenced to a total of 12 years in prison for a series of serious sexual offences committed against children over a span of ten years. The offences include two counts of raping a boy under the age of 16, four counts of indecent assault on a boy under 14, and an additional two counts of indecent assault on a boy under 16.Leslie Pennick appeared before Chelmsford Crown Court yesterday to face the consequences of his actions. The court heard that he was sentenced to nine years for the rape charges, with these sentences to run concurrently, meaning they will be served at the same time. Additionally, he received a further three years for the six counts of indecent assault, which are to be served consecutively, adding up to the total of 12 years.
It was revealed during the proceedings that Pennick had denied the allegations, which spanned from 1982 to 1992. Despite his denial, a jury convicted him on December 15, 2016, after a trial that brought to light the disturbing details of his crimes. The victims, who were just six and nine years old at the time of the assaults, bravely provided evidence in court, demonstrating remarkable courage in the face of trauma.
The court noted that Pennick showed no remorse or empathy for the suffering of his victims, which has further compounded the severity of his sentence. The case has left a lasting impact on the community in Heybridge and the surrounding areas, highlighting the importance of justice for vulnerable children and the need for vigilance against such heinous acts.
