Paedophile jailed after campaign of sexual abuse against young girl

A sick monster has been sent to prison after admitting to a campaign of sexual abuse against a young girl.

Charles Devlin, 39, previously of Northampton, began abusing the victim when she was just ten years old.

This lasted until the girl was 13 at which point she bravely told an adult what was happening and Devlin was arrested.

He was subsequently charged with three counts of child rape and pleaded guilty to the offences at Northampton Crown Court.

Devlin was sentenced last week to 15 years and nine months in prison with an extended licence of five years.

He was also handed an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) and will be on the Sex Offenders’ Register for life.
