Man jailed for sexual assault on a child
A man has been jailed for sexually assaulting a child under 13 in Tattershall.
Michael Taylor, 33, of Cleethorpes, was sentenced at Lincoln Crown Court on Friday to two years in prison.
He was found guilty by a jury of a charge of sexually touching a child under the age of 13, say Lincolnshire Police.
He will be placed on the sex offenders register for 10 years and given a 10 year sexual harm prevention order.
The offence took place in August 2018 at Tattershall in Lincolnshire.
Investigating Officer DC Sarah Potts said: “I would like to pay tribute to the bravery of the complainant.
“Taylor’s refusal to admit guilt meant she was put through a full trial.
“I hope that this conclusion gives her some closure to a harrowing ordeal.
“Taylor clearly thought he could get away with this and showed no remorse throughout the process. I hope it sends a strong message that we will pursue offenders and bring them to justice.”
