ANDREW MACINTOSH SENTENCED IN WARRINGTON FOR SEXUAL ABUSE OF YOUNG GIRL

A man named Andrew Mackintosh, aged 53, has been formally sentenced to serve a significant prison term of 11 years, with an additional four years on extended licence, after being found guilty of engaging in sexual activities with a young girl in Warrington. The case has garnered considerable attention due to the serious nature of the crimes and the length of the sentence handed down by the court.

Details of the case reveal that Mackintosh was previously convicted on six counts of sexual activity with a child, with these offenses occurring over a period spanning from 2016 to 2022. The investigation into his actions was triggered when a woman came forward to report that she had been subjected to ongoing sexual assault by Mackintosh throughout her teenage years in Warrington. The allegations included acts of touching and penetration, which she endured over an extended period, causing significant trauma.

On Wednesday, 23 April 2025, Mackintosh appeared before Liverpool Crown Court to face the charges. The court proceedings culminated in a judge delivering a stern sentence, reflecting the gravity of his crimes. As part of his punishment, Mackintosh will be registered on the sex offenders register for life, ensuring ongoing monitoring of his activities. Additionally, he will be subject to an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order, which aims to restrict his behavior and prevent further harm.

Detective Constable Cadman commented publicly on the case, emphasizing the seriousness of the crimes and the impact on the victim. “The sentence handed to Mackintosh reflects the severity of his sickening actions. He is a sexual predator who exploited an innocent young girl for his own selfish and twisted gratification,” Cadman stated. The officer also expressed gratitude towards the victim, acknowledging her courage in coming forward and her bravery throughout the investigation process. “I would like to again thank the victim for her courage in coming forward to tell police what had happened to her, and her subsequent bravery throughout this investigation. I hope this will encourage anyone who believes they have been a victim of sexual abuse to contact us. We treat all reports of this nature extremely seriously. You can report to us through our website or by calling 101.”
