Man jailed for sexual assault near Grantham

A man who sexually assaulted a child has been jailed for four years and nine months.

Adam Raado of no fixed address was sentenced for digital penetration and sexual touching when he appeared at Lincoln Crown Court on Friday, 22 March.

The 43-year-old was also handed a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and was added to the Violent and Sex Offender Register for life.

He committed the crimes in 2022 near Grantham, with his sentences for each charge running concurrently.

“Raado’s behaviour will not be tolerated in Lincolnshire, and we will do everything within our power to bring criminals who abuse children to justice,” a spokesperson for Lincolnshire Police said.

“We would like to thank everyone who contributed to this case and helped gather evidence for this successful prosecution and sentence.

“We hope that this result gives Raado’s victim some sense of closure and would encourage anyone who has experienced anything similar to get in touch with us.”
