MICHAEL BOTTRILL SENTENCED FOR SEXUAL OFFENCES IN LEICESTER

In a recent development, Michael Bottrill, a resident of Leicester, has been convicted and sentenced for serious sexual offences involving a minor. The case was heard at Leicester Crown Court, where it was revealed that Bottrill, who is employed by Severn Trent Water, engaged in a disturbing pattern of grooming and assault against a 14-year-old girl.

The court proceedings uncovered that over a span of seven months, Bottrill repeatedly sexually abused the young girl, exploiting her vulnerability and trust. The details of the case highlighted the severity of his actions and the danger posed to the victim.

Following his conviction, Bottrill was sentenced to serve a total of four years in prison. Additionally, he was ordered to register as a sex offender for life, a measure aimed at monitoring and preventing any further offences.

Furthermore, a sexual harm prevention order was imposed for a period of three years. This order explicitly prohibits Bottrill from residing at any property where a person under the age of 16 lives, thereby restricting his access to minors and reducing the risk of reoffending.

It is noteworthy that Bottrill was released from custody in June 2018 and has since returned to live in Leicester, raising concerns about the ongoing safety of minors in the community. The case underscores the importance of vigilance and the legal system’s role in protecting vulnerable individuals from sexual predators.
