ASHLEY LEWIS FROM HEDON SENTENCED FOR INDECENT ASSAULTS ON SCHOOLGIRLS IN HEDON

A 40-year-old man named Ashley Lewis, hailing from the town of Hedon, has been handed down a prison sentence of two years following his conviction on charges of indecent assault involving two schoolgirls. The incidents in question occurred over two decades ago, during which Lewis was found to have committed these serious offences while sitting between the victims on a settee.

The court proceedings revealed that Lewis was guilty of two separate charges, with one of the victims unaware that the other had also been subjected to abuse. The jury's verdict was clear, confirming his guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The judge overseeing the case highlighted the significant age difference between Lewis and the victims, underlining the gravity of the crimes committed.

In his sentencing remarks, the judge emphasized that offences of this nature are of the utmost seriousness and warrant immediate imprisonment. Furthermore, Lewis was ordered to sign the sex offenders register for a period of ten years, ensuring ongoing monitoring and public safety measures. The case has drawn considerable attention due to the long elapsed time since the offences and the impact on the victims involved.
