SHAUN MATHER SENTENCED IN NOTTINGHAM FOR MULTIPLE SEXUAL OFFENSES AGAINST A CHILD

A man has been sentenced to prison after admitting to sexually abusing a young girl on multiple occasions.

Shaun Mather, aged 23, sexually assaulted the girl over several years before the crimes were reported to police in May 2020.

When interviewed by officers, he chose not to comment.

Following a detailed investigation by Nottinghamshire Police, Mather pleaded guilty to two counts of rape and three counts of sexual activity with a child.

He appeared at Nottingham Crown Court yesterday (Friday), where he was sentenced to six years in prison.

Additionally, he was placed on the sexual offenders register.

He was also subject to a sexual harm prevention order which will impose strict restrictions on his behavior upon release.

Detective Constable Emily Bucklow from Nottinghamshire Police’s public protection team commented, “The victim in this case suffered considerable distress over a long period of time, and I am pleased her abuser has now been brought to justice.

What this case shows is that it doesn't matter how long ago offences occurred; when people report such cases to us, we investigate them with professionalism, compassion, and a strong determination to uncover the truth.

I hope this case serves as a reminder to other victims that it is never too late to come forward and report what happened.”
