Adam Dupuis Convicted of Sexual Offenses Against Six Victims

Adam Dupuis, 57, of Acrefield, Preston, was convicted of a series of sexual offenses against six victims, two of whom were under the age of 16. The offenses, which occurred between 2014 and 2020, included sexual assault by penetration, sexual assault, exposure, and non-penetrative sexual activity.

Dupuis denied the charges but was found guilty after a two-week trial at Preston Crown Court. He was sentenced to ten years and eight months in prison and ordered to register as a sex offender for life.

DC Lisa Hough, of South CID, stated: "First and foremost, I would like to commend the bravery of these victims who, after being abused by Dupuis, were then forced by him to relive their ordeal by giving evidence at court."

"I welcome this significant sentence which takes a dangerous sexual predator off the streets for a significant time. I hope that this sentence may give other victims the confidence to come forward and speak to us, safe in the knowledge that we will investigate professionally and sensitively and will do our best to put offenders before the courts."
