Colin Mark Hollands Sentenced to 24 Years in Prison for Sexual Offenses

Aylesbury, December 22, 2023 - Colin Mark Hollands, 60, of Aylesbury, was sentenced to 24 years' imprisonment at Aylesbury Crown Court today. On August 29, Hollands pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including:

• Seven counts of adult sexual activity with a female child
• Four counts of assault of a child by penetration
• Three counts of rape
• Two counts of rape of a child
• Two counts of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity
• One count of indecent assault
• One count of sexual assault
• One count of causing a child to watch a sexual act
• One count of causing or inciting a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity

Hollands was arrested on June 8, 2023, and charged on June 14, 2023. The offenses occurred over several years in Aylesbury.

Investigating officer Detective Constable Collette Parker stated: "This sentence brings justice to the victims and appropriately punishes Hollands for his reprehensible behaviour over a number of years. The horrific control, manipulation and abuse perpetrated by Hollands has had a significant impact on the victim's lives."

Parker continued: "I would like to thank the victims in this case who have shown great courage, determination and dignity in their support for the investigation. We would not be where we are today without them taking that step forward and providing the vital evidence needed to prosecute Hollands. With their strikingly similar compelling accounts, a strong case was built against Hollands and he had to admit what he had done."
