CHILD RAPIST PAUL DOWSING JAILED FOR 16 YEARS AFTER THREE-YEAR-LONG ABUSE
A child rapist has been jailed after the "abhorrent" rape of a child over a three-year-long period.Following the courage of a young girl and a jury who saw through a Derbyshire man’s deception, Paul Dowsing, 61, has been sentenced to 16 years in prison for repeatedly raping a child.
Dowsing, 61, of Creswell Road, Clowne, Derbyshire, was found guilty by a jury at Sheffield Crown Court earlier this month (January 16) following a five-day trial.
Officers have commended the bravery of Dowsing's victim, whose "determination to speak the truth" helped put Dowsing behind bars.
Investigating Officer Simone Stacey from the Rotherham Protecting Vulnerable People Team said: “The courage this victim has shown is extraordinary.
Coming forward to report such a traumatic crime takes immense strength, and throughout the entire investigation she has displayed resilience that commands deep respect.
“Her determination to speak the truth has been vital in securing justice."
