DAVID BENNETT FROM SKELMERSDALE JAILED FOR FOOT ATTACK OUTSIDE POLICE STATION IN LIVERPOOL

In a disturbing incident that unfolded outside a police station in Liverpool, David Bennett, a 31-year-old man from Skelmersdale, has been sentenced to six years in prison following a violent and bizarre assault on a mother. The court heard that Bennett, who has a troubling history of sexual offences involving minors, engaged in a highly inappropriate and dangerous act during the attack.

According to court records, Bennett approached the victim, a mother, in a public area near the police station. Despite bleeding from self-inflicted injuries, he proceeded to kiss and touch her feet in a manner that was both invasive and unsettling. The assault was characterized by the court as not only physically aggressive but also psychologically disturbing, given Bennett’s known history and unpredictable behavior.

The judge emphasized the severity of Bennett’s actions, describing his conduct as dangerous and highlighting the potential risk he poses to the public. The court also took into account Bennett’s prior criminal record, which includes multiple sexual offences involving children, underscoring the ongoing threat he represents.

In addition to the prison sentence, the court imposed a sexual harm prevention order on Bennett, restricting his activities and contact with vulnerable individuals. Furthermore, he was ordered to register as a sex offender for life, a measure that reflects the serious concerns about his future conduct and the potential for reoffending.

This case has drawn significant attention due to the unusual nature of the assault and Bennett’s criminal background. Authorities continue to monitor his case closely, emphasizing the importance of community safety and the need for ongoing vigilance against individuals with a history of sexual misconduct.
