Detectives praised the bravery of the victim for coming forward to report the actions of Stuart Tomey, 36, of Rutland Road, Bedford. He was arrested in December 2020 after a number of sexual offences, which took place between April and November of the same year, were disclosed to the police. Tomey pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual activity with a child. He was sentenced on 16 June (Wednesday) to 57 months for each count of sexual activity with a child, which will run concurrently. He received a further three months for breaching his bail conditions, totalling five years imprisonment. In her statement the victim said: “The impact that this has had on me affects me every day. I really struggled with accepting that I was a victim and blamed myself for what happened, but as the time has gone on I learned that this was not my fault.”
