Quick Summary

A 47-year-old moving services manager has been sentenced to 3½ years in prison for molesting and filming assaults on his girlfriend's 11-year-old daughter.

The judge cited a psychologist's report that the defendant had a sexual interest in his girlfriend's daughter but was not a paedophile, and noted that the case involved a serious breach of trust due to the defendant's role as a stepfather figure. The abuse occurred between August 2023 and March 2024, during which time the defendant was under the influence of alcohol and allegedly believed he was assaulting his girlfriend, not her daughter.
