PETER DOHERTY FROM LEICESTER SENTENCED FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT ON 14-YEAR-OLD GIRL

In a recent court ruling, a 64-year-old man from Leicester has been handed a prison sentence after admitting to a serious sexual offense. Peter Doherty, who resides at Sandford Court in Leicester, appeared before the court to face charges related to an incident that took place in October 2013.

On Wednesday, February 5, Doherty pleaded guilty to the charge of sexual assault involving a 14-year-old girl. The court subsequently sentenced him to a term of 10 months in prison, reflecting the gravity of his actions. In addition to the custodial sentence, the court imposed a Sexual Offences Prevention Order (SOPO) against Doherty, which will remain in effect for a period of 10 years. This order is designed to restrict his activities and prevent any further offenses of a similar nature.

Furthermore, Doherty will be required to register as a sex offender for the next decade, ensuring ongoing monitoring and public safety. The incident in question involved inappropriate touching of the young girl, an act that has understandably caused concern within the local community and highlights the importance of strict legal consequences for such offenses. The case underscores the ongoing efforts of law enforcement and judicial authorities in Leicester to combat sexual crimes and protect vulnerable individuals from harm.
