JACK POULSON FROM BOLTON SENTENCED FOR HORRIFIC SEXUAL OFFENSES INVOLVING MINOR GIRL

Jack Poulson, born on April 25, 1993, and residing in Bolton, has been found guilty of a series of heinous sexual crimes that have shocked the local community and beyond. The court proceedings revealed a disturbing pattern of abuse directed at a minor girl, aged between 13 and 15, whom Poulson met in 2016 when he was 23 years old. Over the course of two years, Poulson engaged in multiple acts of sexual violence against her, including two counts of rape and five counts of sexual activity with a child under the age of 16. These charges underscore the severity and brutality of his actions.

During the trial, it was disclosed that Poulson not only assaulted the girl but also introduced her to nine of his friends, all of whom participated in the abuse. This collective exploitation continued until 2018, revealing a disturbing group dynamic that compounded the trauma inflicted upon the victim. Witnesses and evidence presented in court painted a picture of Poulson as a violent and aggressive individual who treated the girl with utter disregard, making her feel worthless, terrified, and deeply traumatized. The case was investigated thoroughly by law enforcement authorities, who worked diligently to gather evidence and testimonies that ultimately led to Poulson’s conviction.

In sentencing, Poulson received a prison term of 17 years. The court ordered that he serve at least two-thirds of this sentence before being eligible for parole. Additionally, Poulson has been subjected to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and a Restraining Order, both designed to restrict his contact with potential victims and prevent further harm. He has also been placed on the Sex Offenders’ Register for life, ensuring ongoing monitoring and public awareness of his status.

Following the conviction, a police officer involved in the case expressed hope that the lengthy sentence would provide some measure of relief and justice for the brave victims who came forward to testify. The officer emphasized the police department’s ongoing commitment to combating sexual predators and safeguarding the community from such heinous crimes. The case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and the need to protect vulnerable individuals from exploitation and abuse.
