SIMON ROBERTSON FROM CHILBOLTON SENTENCED TO 19 YEARS FOR SERIAL SEX OFFENCES IN MAIDENHEAD AND HARINGEY

In a significant case that has shocked the local communities, Simon Robertson, a 51-year-old man residing on Coley Lane in Chilbolton, has been handed down a lengthy prison sentence of 19 years for a series of disturbing sexual offences. The crimes, which spanned over a decade and involved both adult and child victims, were brought to light during a high-profile trial held at Reading Crown Court.

On Friday, January 27, the court convicted Robertson on multiple counts, including two charges of rape and three counts of engaging in sexual activity with a female child. The jury, after a rigorous three-week trial, reached a unanimous verdict confirming his guilt on all charges. The case drew considerable attention due to the serious nature of the offences and the vulnerability of the victims involved.

The first of the rape counts pertained to an adult victim and occurred in Haringey sometime between January 2001 and May 2003. This particular offence was part of a broader pattern of predatory behavior that spanned several years and locations. The second set of offences involved a young girl in Maidenhead, with incidents taking place between May 2013 and June 2014. These child sex offences, including one count of rape, highlighted Robertson’s disturbing pattern of abuse against minors.

Throughout the trial, prosecutors detailed the heinous acts committed by Robertson, emphasizing the impact on the victims and the need for justice. The court’s sentencing reflects the gravity of his crimes, and Robertson now faces a lengthy period of incarceration, during which he will be monitored and restricted from reoffending. The case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and the ongoing efforts to protect vulnerable individuals from sexual predators.
