CONVICTED RAPIST, TIMOTHY HARRIS, JAILED FOR 14 YEARS
A convicted rapist has been jailed for 14 years after assaulting two young children in Norfolk.Timothy Harris of Lea Bridge Road, Leyton, was found guilty by a unanimous jury verdict following a four-day trial at Norwich Crown Court.
The offences include engaging in sexual activity in front of a child aged under 13 and four counts of intentionally touching a child under 13.
Harris also failed to comply with notification requirements.
The 46-year-old was handed a 14 year custodial sentence plus a further four years on licence.
Harris had been placed on the Sex Offenders Register for life in 2016 after being convicted of rape at Swindon Crown Court.
He failed to tell London police who were monitoring him that he was spending time in Norfolk.
He was arrested in Leyton on December 18 and taken to King’s Lynn Police Investigation Centre for questioning, to which he denied the offences.
PC Gary Ranger, who is in charge of the case, said: "These were abhorrent offences committed in breach of a court order put in place to manage those on the Sex Offenders Register carefully.
He tried hard to cover his tracks by failing to notify police he had moved but was found out due to the courage and bravery of his victims.
Norfolk police will always pursue such offenders both historic and recent to keep people safe and ensure dangerous and predatory offenders like Harris are brought to justice." It comes after police received a report of sexual assault against children in December 2024.
