ROBERT SALT FROM CHADDERTON JAILED FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT ON 13-YEAR-OLD GIRL IN CHADDERTON

In a case that has shocked the local community of Chadderton, a man named Robert Salt has been sentenced to a year behind bars following his conviction for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl. The incident took place within Salt's residence, a place that was supposed to be a safe environment but instead became the scene of a disturbing crime.

Salt, aged 22, was found guilty by a jury after a detailed trial that revealed the disturbing details of the assault. As part of his sentence, he will also be required to register as a sex offender for the next ten years, a measure aimed at monitoring his activities and preventing further harm.

The victim, who was staying at Salt’s house at the time, was sleeping in Salt’s bed alongside a young relative. Salt was sleeping on the floor nearby. The night took a sinister turn after Salt returned home from a night out, during which he had consumed approximately 15 alcoholic drinks. Once home, he climbed into the bed with the girl and began to behave inappropriately.

According to reports, Salt started by pulling down her pyjama trousers and touching her legs. He then proceeded to put his hands on her and pushed himself against her, engaging in sexual assault. Despite leaving the room briefly, Salt returned and continued his inappropriate behavior. The girl, distressed and frightened, confided in her mother, which led to the police being contacted and an investigation being launched.

The court’s verdict underscores the severity of the crime and the importance of protecting vulnerable minors from such predatory behavior. Salt’s actions have not only resulted in his imprisonment but also in a lasting record that will influence his life for years to come.
