On Tuesday, 3 February 2026, Maidstone Crown Court sentenced Clark to 13 years behind bars. A Sexual Harm Prevention Order was also imposed to protect the public.
“Andrew Clark has caused serious harm to a young person and his sentence is justly deserved for his terrible crimes,” said investigating officer DC Jack Kennedy.
“He denied the offences, forcing his victim to go through a prolonged trial. I’d like to commend the victim for coming forward and I hope Clark’s imprisonment brings them a sense of closure.”
This verdict sends a clear warning: child abusers will be hunted down and punished to the full extent of the law.
