A “predator” who sexually abused a woman throughout her teenage years has been handed an 11 year jail sentence. Andrew Mackintosh was previously found guilty of six counts of sexual activity with a child, which occurred between 2016 and 2022.
The 53-year-old, of Moorside Gardens, Halifax, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Wednesday, April 23. The court heard how in November 2022, a woman reported she had been sexually assaulted by Mackintosh throughout her teenage years in Warrington. This included sexual assault by touching and penetration.
Mackintosh was subsequently arrested and denied the allegations during interview. However, following a thorough investigation, Mackintosh was charged with the offences.
He was sentenced to 11 years with an additional four years on extended licence. On top of the custodial sentence, he is subject to the sex offenders register for life and an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order was granted.
Detective Constable Cadman said: “The sentence handed to Mackintosh reflects the severity of his sickening actions. He is a sexual predator who exploited an innocent young girl for his own selfish and twisted gratification.
“I would like to again thank the victim for her courage in coming forward to tell police what had happened to her, and her subsequent bravery throughout this investigation.
“I hope this will encourage anyone who believes they have been a victim of sexual abuse to contact us. We treat all reports of this nature extremely seriously. You can report to us through our website or by calling 101.”
