Trevor Poole of Howard Place, Brighton, also known as Trevor Madison, has been sentenced to three years and four months in prison for an historical indecent assault on a boy in the Corby area.

The 60-year-old man was found guilty by a jury following a three-day trial at Northampton Crown Court in November 2022. Poole had denied the offence.

The assault took place in Corby, and Poole was arrested and charged.

Lead investigator – Detective Constable Helen Campbell, said: "This has been a very lengthy process for the survivor in this case and I hope that the conclusion provides him with some much-needed closure and the knowledge that Trevor Poole has been recognised as the sex offender he is."

"I want to thank him for his support, persistence and courage, qualities he has shown throughout this investigation, and I hope he can move forward with his life with less weight on his shoulders. Though nothing will never make up for the effect the assault had on him, I hope he is proud of the courage and determination he has shown."

"Northamptonshire Police takes reports of this nature extremely seriously and we will do all we can to bring the offender to justice. We will believe you, we will support and we will do all we can to get you the justice you deserve. I hope this case demonstrates that fact and that it doesn't matter how much time has passed."
