DYLAN LEES FROM BURBAGE SENTENCED TO TWO YEARS PROBATION FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT ON 5-YEAR-OLD GIRL IN LEICESTER

In a case that has shocked the local community, Dylan Lees, a young man from Burbage, has been handed a two-year probation order after admitting to the serious crime of sexually assaulting a five-year-old girl in Leicester during December 2014.

Lees, who was 17 years old at the time of the incident, was found guilty of multiple charges, including rape, in connection with the assault. The case drew significant criticism from the victim’s family, who described the court’s sentencing as ‘pathetic’ and expressed their disappointment with what they perceived as a lenient punishment for such a grave offense.

The young victim continues to endure the emotional scars of the assault, suffering from nightmares and behavioral issues that have persisted since the incident. Her family has spoken out about the ongoing trauma, emphasizing the profound impact the crime has had on their lives.

During the court proceedings, Lees pleaded guilty to the charges, which included the heinous act of rape. Despite the gravity of the crimes, the court’s decision to impose only a probation order has been met with outrage from the community and advocacy groups, who argue that the punishment does not adequately reflect the severity of the offense.

The victim’s mother expressed her deep emotional distress, describing the toll the case has taken on her family. She voiced her frustration with the legal outcome, highlighting the need for justice and appropriate sentencing in cases involving such vulnerable victims.
