Detective Constable Izzy Broxton stated: “Primarily, the bravery and fortitude exhibited by the victim during this investigation was remarkable.”
“During the court process Mr Steven Dodd entered a guilty plea and we welcome the sentence he received, although we recognise that this will never take away from the damage that he has caused.
