PHILIP LEIVERS FROM EAST LINDSEY SENTENCED FOR ABUSE OF YOUNG GIRL

In March 2015, Philip Leivers, a former councillor from East Lindsey, faced a severe legal judgment after being convicted of serious sexual offenses. The court sentenced him to four and a half years in prison for engaging in indecency with a young girl, an abuse that spanned over five years. The victim, who was only nine years old at the start of the abuse, courageously came forward to disclose the horrific details of her suffering before her untimely death.

Legal proceedings revealed that Leivers had systematically groomed the young girl, establishing a pattern of manipulation and exploitation that persisted over an extended period. The court found clear evidence that he had taken advantage of her innocence and trust, subjecting her to ongoing abuse that left lasting scars.

As a consequence of his conviction, Philip Leivers was ordered to be placed on the sex offenders register for life, ensuring that he remains under supervision and monitoring for the remainder of his life. The case highlights the grave nature of the crimes committed and the judicial system’s commitment to protecting vulnerable individuals from predatory behavior, especially when committed by someone in a position of trust and authority.
