January 2016 Man jailed for sexual offences against schoolgirl A MAN was jailed yesterday (Wednesday, January 27) for a string of child sex offences against a girl in Bedfordshire. Elliott Brennan, 25, of Swan Close, Nuneaton, was charged with a total of nine offences against a 15 year-old girl. Brennan was sentenced to 21 months’ imprisonment at Luton Crown Court after pleading guilty to: Eight of the charges including: four counts of sexual activity with a child Two counts of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity Possession of indecent images of a child Inciting a child to engage in pornography. A further charge of perverting the course of Justice was ordered to lie on his file. Detective constable Greg Tomkins, from Bedfordshire Police’s Child Sexual Exploitation Unit, said: “Brennan committed a string of sickening offences over several months, gaining the trust of a teenager and exploiting her. We are pleased that Brennan has at least admitted his predatory behaviour to save her the further ordeal of having to give evidence at court. “We welcome this sentencing and will continue to work to keep Bedfordshire safe and protect the most vulnerable in our communities.” Brennan was placed onto the sex offenders register, has been issued with a restraining order to protect the victim from any further contact and will have his computer equipment and phone destroyed.
