🚨 WALKING FREE.
Joseph Wood, of Milton Drive in Buckie, subjected a seven-year-old girl to years of sexual assaults — and walked out of court with just 200 hours unpaid work.
This pervert began abusing the girl when she was 7 and he continued until she was 12.
He forced his hand inside her clothes, touched her, entered a bed with her, exposed himself, made sexual verbal comments, sent her indecent images, asked her for images of herself, and committed acts purely for his own sexual gratification and to humiliate/distress her.
Found guilty at Inverness Sheriff Court of multiple sexual assaults between 2015 and 2020.
Sentenced to 200 hours unpaid work, a three-year supervision order, and placed on the Sex Offenders Register for three years.
No jail. A “direct alternative to custody.” For years of abusing a little girl.
The system is a joke. Our children are not safe while monsters like this walk free with a slap on the wrist.
