The Loughborough Paedophile, Peter McGinnes, convicted of raping a lady and indecently assaulting a child has been sentenced to 13 years in prison.
Peter McGinnes, residing on Woodthorpe Avenue in Loughborough, was convicted of the offences by jurors at a hearing at Lincoln Crown Court on Wednesday, 14 May.
The 65-year-old, Peter McGinnes, refuted the allegations pertaining to historical cases in Woodhall.
Peter McGinnes received an eight-year sentence for rape and a five-year sentence for indecent assault, to be served concurrently.
Court officials learnt that Peter McGinnes premeditated his offences by intoxicating his rape victim with drink and narcotics.
Peter McGinnes received a ten-year restraining order and was permanently registered as a sexual offender.
DC Carla Sutton, who was in charge of the investigation, said: “Peter McGinnes’ actions were totally unacceptable and have no place in Lincolnshire.
“While these crimes took place some time ago, it is still our duty to provide victims with justice and I’m glad we’ve been able to give them some form of closure.
“I’d like to thank the women involved in this for their bravery and those who helped pull the case together.
“We take all reports of a sexual nature seriously and will thoroughly investigate to bring perpetrators to justice.”
