JOHN GRANT FROM LEIGHTON BUZZARD SENTENCED FOR SEXUAL ABUSE OF YOUNG GIRL IN LUTON

In a recent court ruling, John Grant, a 65-year-old resident of Leighton Buzzard, was sentenced to a term exceeding two years in prison for the serious crime of child molestation. The sentencing took place at Luton Crown Court on a Friday, where Grant received a prison term of 27 months after being found guilty of sexually touching and abusing a young girl who was under the age of five at the time of the offences.

In addition to his imprisonment, Grant was also subjected to a sexual harm prevention order that will remain in effect for seven years. This order is designed to restrict his activities and prevent any further harm to children, reflecting the severity of his actions.

The criminal acts for which Grant was convicted occurred over a decade ago, specifically more than ten years prior to his sentencing. The case highlights the long-lasting impact of such offences and the importance of justice for victims of child abuse. Grant’s residence on Hockliffe Street in Leighton Buzzard was noted during the proceedings, emphasizing his local connection to the area where the crimes took place.
