NICHOLAS WOOD JAILED FOR ABUSING YOUNG GIRL IN WORCESTER PARK
In a disturbing case that has shocked the community of Worcester Park, Surrey, Nicholas Bryan Wood, aged 52, has been sentenced to prison for a series of heinous sexual offenses involving a young girl.The court proceedings took place at Guildford Crown Court, where Wood faced justice for multiple counts of child sexual abuse.
According to court records, Wood was convicted of two counts of sexual assault on a female child under the age of 13.
Additionally, he was found guilty of inciting or causing a young girl, also under 13, to engage in sexual activities.
The court was informed that Wood, who had a known sexual attraction to young girls, began abusing the victim when she was merely eight years old.
The abuse was not a one-time event but occurred sporadically over a period of five years, causing significant trauma to the young girl.
It was revealed that Wood had previously resided in the Worcester Park area and was known locally as the owner of Bridgewood Builders, a construction company operating in the region.
His criminal actions have now cast a dark shadow over his reputation and the community he once served.
In addition to his prison sentence, Wood was subjected to several court orders aimed at protecting his victims and preventing further harm.
A restraining order was issued against him, explicitly prohibiting any contact with the victims.
He was also ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £170, which is a standard penalty intended to support victims of crime.
Furthermore, Wood was placed on the Sex Offenders Register, a legal requirement for individuals convicted of sexual offenses, and was issued an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
These measures are designed to monitor and restrict his activities to safeguard the community.
Wood received concurrent sentences for his multiple offenses, culminating in a total prison term of five years and six months.
His sentencing underscores the severity of his crimes and the court’s commitment to protecting vulnerable children from predators like him.
