Indecently molesting a kid in the 1980s, a Huddersfield Paedophile Martin Glynn Whittle has been imprisoned.
Following a four-day trial on one charge of indecent assault on a child under fourteen years, 72-year-old Martin Glynn Whittle of Lucy Lane, Huddersfield, was found guilty.
Martin Glynn Whittle will be subject to Sex Offender Register criteria and was convicted this week at Leeds Crown Court to four and a half years jail.
Detective Constable Yvonne Brear of Kirklees Child Safeguarding Unit said: “Martin Glynn Whittle has committed a genuinely appalling offence, and we welcome the custodial sentence imposed on him.
“I want to praise the victim who came forward in this case whose bravery in making the initial report allowed us to thoroughly investigate Martin Glynn Whittle’s offending, ensuring he was put before the courts to answer for what he did.
“I hope the sentencing can give the victim some closure, and the case demonstrates to victims of sexual offences that it is never too late to contact us if you have been victim to such abuse”
