DAVID ROBINSON SENTENCED TO 13 YEARS FOR RAPE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT IN RAINWORTH

In November 2018, a man from Rainworth was handed a significant prison sentence after being convicted of serious sexual offenses involving a young girl. David Robinson, aged 65, of Southwell Road East in Rainworth, was taken into custody in November 2017 following concerns raised to the police about his conduct.

Initially, Robinson denied the allegations during police interviews, attempting to dismiss the accusations. However, during his court proceedings at Nottingham Crown Court, he ultimately pleaded guilty to multiple charges. These included the rape of a child under the age of 13, two counts of sexual assault against a child under 13, and two additional charges of causing a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity.

The court's judgment reflected the gravity of his crimes. Robinson was sentenced to a total of 13 years in prison, a punishment that underscores the severity of his offenses. Furthermore, he was placed under a lifelong Sexual Harm Prevention Order, which aims to restrict his behavior and protect the community from future harm. The sentencing was finalized on Friday, November 30, in a case that has shocked the local community in Rainworth and beyond, highlighting the importance of vigilance and swift action in safeguarding vulnerable children.
