A man from Eston, identified as Alexander Dolphin, has been handed a sentence of indefinite detention following a disturbing series of sexual offences that spanned over a week. The court's decision underscores the gravity of his actions and the perceived ongoing threat he poses to the community.

According to court records, Dolphin, aged 21, was found guilty of multiple sexual assaults, including four separate attacks that occurred within a single week. These offences took place in October of the previous year and involved targeting women and young girls, some as young as 16 years old. The court detailed how Dolphin engaged in groping and assaulting his victims, actions that have left a lasting impact on those affected.

The court also highlighted Dolphin’s criminal history, revealing that he has a long-standing pattern of violent sexual offences dating back to his teenage years. This history contributed to the court’s assessment of him as a significant danger to the public, prompting the severe sentence of indefinite detention. The judge emphasized that Dolphin’s repeated offences and his dangerousness necessitated a measure that would protect society from further harm.

In delivering the verdict, the court made it clear that Dolphin’s actions were not only criminal but also indicative of a persistent threat that required a stringent response. The sentence reflects the seriousness with which the justice system views sexual offences and the importance of safeguarding vulnerable members of the community from individuals with a history of such conduct.
