KEN MOORHOUSE FROM HALIFAX SENTENCED TO 8 YEARS FOR CHILD SEX OFFENSES IN HALIFAX

A man identified as Ken Moorhouse, aged 52 and hailing from Halifax, has been sentenced to a term of eight years in prison following his conviction for a series of serious sexual offenses involving a young girl. The crimes, which spanned several years during the 1980s and 1990s, included multiple counts of indecent assault, gross indecency, and inciting a boy to engage in indecent acts.

During the court proceedings, Moorhouse admitted to these allegations, acknowledging his involvement in the disturbing acts that caused significant and lasting harm to his victims. The court emphasized the profound and enduring impact that his actions have had on the victims’ lives, highlighting the betrayal of trust inherent in such offenses.

The judge described Moorhouse’s conduct as a grave breach of the trust placed in him, especially considering the vulnerability of the victims at the time. As part of his sentencing, Moorhouse was ordered to serve a minimum of eight years behind bars. Additionally, he was subjected to a lifelong sexual offences prevention order, which aims to restrict his activities and protect the public from potential reoffending. He was also mandated to register as a sex offender, ensuring ongoing monitoring and accountability.

This case underscores the long-lasting scars inflicted by sexual abuse and the importance of justice for victims who have endured such traumatic experiences over many years in Halifax.
