COLIN LOMAS FROM BANBURY SENTENCED FOR SEXUAL ABUSE OF CHILD IN OXFORDSHIRE

In a recent and highly disturbing case, a man from Banbury, identified as Colin Lomas, has been officially classified by police as a 'dangerous offender' following his conviction for sexually abusing a young child. The incident, which has sent shockwaves through the local community, took place within Oxfordshire, and the legal proceedings culminated in a significant prison sentence.

On Friday, March 13, at Oxford Crown Court, Lomas, aged 59 and residing in High Furlong, was handed down a sentence of three years and nine months behind bars. This sentencing reflects the gravity of his actions and the serious nature of the crime he committed. In addition to his prison term, Lomas was also subjected to a lifelong sexual harm prevention order, a measure designed to restrict his activities and monitor his behavior to prevent any future offenses.

The case came to light after Lomas pleaded guilty to the sexual assault of a child under the age of 13. The assault occurred within Oxfordshire within the past five years, highlighting the ongoing threat posed by individuals with a history of such offenses. The court's decision underscores the importance of protecting vulnerable children and sending a clear message that sexual abuse will be met with severe legal consequences. The community in Banbury and the wider Oxfordshire area can now find some reassurance in the fact that justice has been served, and measures are in place to prevent any recurrence of such heinous acts.
