A Leamington Paedophile, Robert Newman, who admitted to molesting a schoolboy no fewer than 74 times has been incarcerated for his egregious sexual abuse. Robert Newman perpetrated rape and sexual assault against the young kid in what has been regarded as one of the most egregious examples of abuse encountered by detectives.
The 74-year-old, Robert Newman, initially encountered the youth in the late 1990s before forming a friendship with him and his family. He subsequently orchestrated outings with his victim prior to assaulting him at his residence.
Robert Newman, residing in Stockton Grove, Leamington, confessed to 21 charges of indecent assault and six charges of rape. He was sentenced to 15 years and two months in prison at Warwick Crown Court last week.
A court was informed that the sex offender encountered his victim at Rugby, with the most of the heinous abuse occurring at Robert Newman’s residence in the town following the grooming of the kid. On one occasion, he attacked his victim while visiting Flecknoe, Warwickshire.
Robert Newman’s abuse persisted for four years during the boy’s early adolescence. The offender confessed to sexually assaulting his juvenile victim a minimum of 74 times, while authorities indicated that the actual frequency of the abuse is likely greater.
The paedophile was convicted after to an investigation conducted by Warwickshire Police. Detective Constable Liam Crouch, the investigating officer from CID at Rugby Police Station, stated: “This is among the most egregious cases of abuse I have encountered.”
The victim of these egregious acts was a youngster; he possessed an inherent right to feel secure. Instead, he endured the most egregious maltreatment.
Robert Newman manipulated his victim and exploited him sexually for an extended duration. The considerable duration since the commission of these acts did not impede our investigation and the pursuit of justice against Newman.
Upon the reporting of these acts, we initiated a comprehensive investigation that culminated in Newman obtaining a substantial jail term. Warwickshire Police is dedicated to investigating sexual assaults against children, irrespective of the elapsed time.
The victim’s courage has resulted in the apprehension of a major sex offender. Robert Newman is expected to spend the majority of his remaining life incarcerated, and I hope this provides him with some solace.
