Detective Constable Carla Garnier said:
“We are committed to investigating and prosecuting all sexual offenders and want to assure victims that there are a number of agencies who are in a position to offer support and guidance through all stages of the criminal justice process.
We hope that this sentence gives the victim and her family some form of closure.
