Christopher Proctor jailed for fresh offence
Christopher Proctor—now using the name Daniel Travis—has been slammed with a further prison term for sexually assaulting a two-year-old girl. The victim bravely reported the abuse in 2021, while Proctor was already behind bars. He’s currently serving a 12-year sentence handed down in 2019 for raping a different young girl.
Denial crumbles under court pressure
Proctor, 49, denied the new charge of sexual assault by touching at first. But after his defence team cross-examined the victim in court, he suddenly changed his plea and admitted the offence. The victim’s powerful impact statement left the courtroom stunned.
Victim speaks out: “I’m no longer a victim. I’m a survivor.”
“What happened to me has had a huge impact on my life and is quite difficult to put into words… The impact on my mental health has been significant. I am constantly anxious and on edge, particularly around men and unfamiliar places. I struggle to trust people, even those close to me, and I often feel isolated because of this.
I experience frequent flashbacks and panic attacks from the trauma of what Christopher did to me… I used to self-harm to get rid of the feeling of his hands on my skin. I have lost my confidence and self-worth. Some days I have even thought it might be better if I am not here. But I will get through this…
