Joshua Ramiah, a Tadworth paedophile has received a 20-year prison sentence after being convicted of raping and sexually assaulting a three-year-old girl, after a week-long trial.
Joshua Ramiah, 27 (born 06/05/1997) of Tadworth, received a cumulative sentence of 20 years at Guildford Crown Court on 29 August for two counts of raping a child under 13 and two counts of sexual assault by touching a child under 13.
The offences were reported to us in August 2021 when the youngster initially made several alarming statements to a family member, leading to the arrest of Joshua Ramiah on 23 August of that year.
A thorough investigation was subsequently carried out by our Child Abuse Team, including forensics, phone work, and specialist interviews with the child.
Joshua Ramiah was sentenced on Thursday, 29 August, and given twenty years in prison for the two rapes and a further three years for each sexual assault offence to run concurrently.
Joshua Ramiah was also given a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and placed on the Sexual Offenders Register.
Investigating Officer Detective Constable Nicola Deadman said, “Sexual abuse of a child is a horrific crime that can often have a devastating impact on its victims and their families.
“We take all reports of sexual abuse extremely seriously, and the lengthy sentence handed to Joshua Ramiah by the Judge, as well as the Sexual Harm Prevention Order, will help to protect children from this predator.
“The process to get justice for abuse survivors can be lengthy, but we will be there to ensure justice is carried out.”
