A 40-year-old Hollywood Paedophile, Mark Turner, has been sentenced to 21 years in jail, with an additional two years on licence, following his conviction for various sexual offences at Worcester Crown Court on Tuesday, January 31.
Mark Turner of Corbett Road, Hollywood, Birmingham, was indicted for:
- Gross indecency with a girl under 16
- Indecent assault of a female under 14
- Cause/incite a child to engage in sexual activity by penetration
- Sexual assault of a child
The charges relate to child sex offences against three victims, two of whom were discovered following the initial report which was made to detectives in 2018.
Detective Constable Fiona Millership said: The verdict and the sentence handed down to Turner will I hope offer some solace and comfort to those he hurt.
Mark Turner is a predator of children and once our investigation was under way, we uncovered more victims who, between 2001 and 2004, he also abused and sexually assaulted.
Not only should the sentence of 23 years serve as a warning to those sexually abusing children but my hope is that it reassures other victims and survivors that they can trust us to find them justice. If you have been abused, sexually assaulted, raped or exploited, talk to us and let us help you.
