Man jailed for sexual assault on a child

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.”
