GEORGE MITCHELL FROM BUXTON RECEIVES SUSPENDED SENTENCE FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT IN BUXTON

In a case that has shocked the local community of Buxton, 18-year-old George Mitchell faced justice at Derby Crown Court for a serious criminal offence. The incident in question took place in August 2018 at an address within the town, involving the sexual assault of a girl under the age of ten.

Mitchell, a resident of West Road in Buxton, admitted to the charges brought against him, which led to a significant legal outcome. On September 9, during the court proceedings, he was sentenced to serve 12 months in prison. However, this sentence was not to be served immediately, as it was suspended for a period of two years, meaning Mitchell would not have to serve time unless he committed another offence within that timeframe.

In addition to the suspended prison sentence, the court also mandated that Mitchell must sign the Sex Offenders’ Register for a duration of ten years. This requirement is part of the measures aimed at monitoring and managing individuals convicted of sexual offences, ensuring public safety and oversight.

The case has garnered considerable attention in Buxton, highlighting the serious nature of the offence and the judicial system’s response. The court’s decision reflects the gravity of the crime committed and underscores the importance of safeguarding vulnerable minors within the community.
