Lee Overton Sentenced for Sexual Offenses Against Children

Lee Overton, of Woodhall Drive, Lincoln, was sentenced on Wednesday, 26 October 2022, following a trial that lasted a week and a half at Lincoln Crown Court.

Overton was found guilty of 17 offences of sexual assault on a child under 13 years old, which occurred between 2011 and 2018.

In addition to his five and a half year prison sentence, Overton was also given a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and placed on the sexual offenders register for life.

DC Jann Olsen, of Lincolnshire Police's Protecting Vulnerable People unit, said: "I welcome the prison sentence and the ongoing protective measures that have been put in place. This offending was against the most vulnerable in society and I hope with the conclusion of the court case, those involved can find some closure."
