In a case that has shocked the local communities of Bristol and Newtown, Stephen Dovey, a 47-year-old man, has been handed down a prison sentence of three years following his conviction on serious charges related to the sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl.The incidents, which took place over a span of nearly two months from May to July 2014, involved not only the assault itself but also other offences linked to inappropriate sexual touching.
During the court proceedings, it was revealed that Dovey exploited his position as a door engineer to commit these offences, taking advantage of his role to manipulate and harm the young victim.
The court heard evidence that painted a disturbing picture of his actions, which showed a clear pattern of misconduct and a blatant disregard for the well-being of the girl involved.

The victim, now dealing with the aftermath of the trauma, has been left to cope with the consequences of Dovey’s misconduct.
Local authorities and community members have expressed their concern over the case, highlighting the importance of safeguarding vulnerable individuals and ensuring that those who abuse their positions of trust are held accountable.
