A Boston Paedophile, Eimantas Matasevicius, convicted of raping a girl under the age of 13 in 2018 has been sentenced to 10 years and 10 months in prison.
Eimantas Matasevicius, residing on South Terrace, Boston, was sentenced at Lincoln Crown Court on Friday, May 2, for the rape of a girl under the age of 13 and two counts of assault on a girl under 13 including inappropriate touching. Eimantas Matasevicius was 15 years old at the time of the incident; he is now 22.
Eimantas Matasevicius was indefinitely registered as a Sexual Offender, subjected to a restraining order prohibiting contact with his victim, and issued a Sexual Harm Prevention Order to safeguard the public from sexual harm, which restricts him from any interaction with female minors under the age of 18, along with additional stipulations.
The court was informed that police were alerted by a Boston school in November 2018 after a disclosure was made by a female student who was under 13 years old at that time.
Eimantas Matasevicius returned to Lithuania immediately after the accusation was levied.
In August 2022, reports indicated that Eimantas Matasevicius had returned to the UK. He was promptly issued as a wanted individual and apprehended in April 2023.
In a plea hearing conducted in January 2025, the defendant, Eimantas Matasevicius, acknowledged engaging in sexual intercourse with the girl, asserting that he believed she was 15 years old.
A Newton hearing occurred on 28 February. This occurs when there is a discord between the defence and the prosecution about the substantive facts pertinent to the defendant’s sentencing. Eimantas Matasevicius admitted guilt to both charges following the viewing of the victim’s video recorded interview at this session. The legal charge of rape was applied since the victim was below the age of consent at the time the acts occurred.
Detective Constable Craig Davey from the Protecting Vulnerable People unit in Boston, said: “Justice knows no time limit. No matter how long ago an offence occurred, accountability remains. The victim showed incredible courage throughout this long and difficult journey, never giving up despite the years of waiting. Her strength is truly commendable, and we are very pleased with the sentence, which reflects the seriousness of the crime and the importance of justice being served.”
