A pensioner from Donington-on-Bain near Louth who sexually abused a young girl has been jailed for 17 years.
69-year-old Roger Faulker of Neve Gardens appeared on trial at Lincoln Crown Court on Friday 10th May. He was accused of eight sexual offences against the child which he denied.
Faulker was found guilty by a jury in just 90 minutes of all eight offences, which took place over an eight month period.
Faulker will also have to serve an extended licence period for a year after his release from custody and has been ordered to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
DC Carla Sutton of PVP in East Lindsey said:
“Faulker’s behaviour was vile and unacceptable.
“This conduct will not be tolerated in Lincolnshire, and we will pursue all lines of enquiry to robustly investigate such cases and bring offenders to justice.
“The victim in the case has had to wait a prolonged period of time for justice and she has shown nothing but bravery and I hope that she can now start moving forward with her life.
“We will always listen as we seek to make our county the safest place to live, work and visit and would like to encourage anyone who has experienced a similar crime to get in touch.”
