RANJEET SINGH SHOCKS SEAHAM AND HENDON WITH SEXUAL ASSAULT ON YOUNG WOMAN

A young woman has courageously broken her silence and publicly shared her harrowing experience after falling victim to a sexual assault committed by a local takeaway owner in Hendon. The victim, who is only 18 years old, revealed that her ordeal occurred during a routine food delivery to her home. The perpetrator, Ranjeet Singh, was responsible for the assault, which involved inappropriate touching, leaving her deeply distressed and emotionally shaken.

Singh’s actions have caused significant upheaval in her life, leading to feelings of depression and the loss of her home environment. The incident took place in Hendon, a suburb known for its diverse community and bustling streets. The victim’s bravery in speaking out has brought attention to the case, which has now been formally prosecuted.

Following a court hearing, Ranjeet Singh was found guilty of sexual touching. The court sentenced him to 26 weeks in custody, but this sentence was suspended for a period of one year. In addition to the suspended sentence, Singh was subjected to several measures aimed at preventing further harm. These included a restraining order to keep him away from the victim and her family, as well as mandatory registration as a sex offender.

The case has sparked discussions within the Seaham and Hendon communities about safety, accountability, and the importance of supporting victims of sexual assault. The victim’s decision to speak out publicly underscores the need for awareness and justice in cases of sexual misconduct, especially involving individuals in positions of trust such as local business owners.
