A man from Newton-le-Willows, David Ashbrook, 59, has been sentenced to 15 years in jail for historic sexual offences against a child. The sentence was delivered at Liverpool Crown Court on Thursday, October 26, following Ashbrook’s guilty plea to 15 counts of rape, sexual touching, and other sexual offences.

The investigation into Ashbrook’s crimes was initiated after authorities received a report in July regarding sexual offences committed against a child over a period of several years. Detectives diligently pursued the case, ultimately leading to Ashbrook being brought before the courts to face justice for his reprehensible actions.
