Last updated 22nd Jul 2022
A man has been jailed for 10 years after being found guilty of multiple historic sexual offences against a child.
Last month, 29-year-old Marcus Pressley was convicted by jury of two counts of rape of a girl under the age of 13. He was also convicted of single counts of sexual assault by penetration and causing a child under 13 to view an image of sexual activity.
Pressley, formerly of Wells in Somerset but now of West Road in Oakham, was sentenced at Exeter Crown Court yesterday.
DC Anthony Davis said: “Marcus Pressley exploited the victim’s vulnerability and young age to sexually abuse her.
“The victim has shown incredible bravery to speak out about the abuse and we hope Pressley’s sentencing provides all victims of sexual abuse with the confidence to report what they have been through to police.”
