Keith Williams, 60, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for the rape and sexual abuse of a young girl in Sussex. The abuse, which occurred over several years, was reported to Sussex Police in May 2020 after the victim confided in a family member.
The girl, whose identity is protected, received support from specially trained officers. Detective Sergeant Nick Green from the Eastbourne Safeguarding Investigations Unit commended her bravery, saying, “She showed tremendous bravery and courage to report her experience to police.”
Support services for victims of rape and serious sexual offences are available online, along with information on how Sussex Police investigates these crimes.
