Police praise for victims after sex abuse conviction

Kieran Stainrod (21), of Ellis Street in Brinsworth, was given a one-year suspended jail sentence for five offences against the girls.

And PC Brett Thompson said: “This conviction could have only come about due to the bravery of the victims involved. 

“Without their courage to come forward and speak to the police and put themselves through the process of going to court, Stainrod’s offending behaviour would have gone unnoticed.

“Our only hope is that they can now move on with their lives.”

He added: “Stainrod is now on the Sex Offenders Register and subject to a suspended prison sentence, meaning that if he were to offend again he risks going to prison.”
