Woman Jailed for Child Sex Offences

A 27-year-old woman, Sophie Hindmarch, from Penrith, has been sentenced to almost three years in prison after admitting to child sex offences.

Hindmarch was sentenced on April 9 at Carlisle Crown Court for nine counts of engaging in penetrative sexual activity with a boy aged 13 to 15. The incidents occurred in Penrith in late 2019.

Hindmarch pleaded guilty to the charges at an earlier hearing in March. She was sentenced to two years and nine months in prison and given an indefinite sexual harm prevention order.

Following the sentencing, Detective Constable Emma Armstrong of Cumbria Police encouraged any other victims of similar offences to come forward.

"Hindmarch initially denied the offences in interview before pleading guilty at court. She was aware that what she was doing was wrong, telling the victim to delete messages between them. I would urge anyone who has been subject to offences of this nature to come forward, you will be believed and any report will be dealt with professionally and sensitively," said Detective Constable Armstrong.
