Malcolm Clixby, the Darlington Paedophile, who attempted to sexually assault a young teenager in a park, has received a 14-year extended prison sentence.
Malcolm Clixby assaulted the girl at South Park, Darlington, at approximately 4:50 PM on November 2 of the previous year.
The 43-year-old, Malcolm Clixby, pursued the adolescent as she proceeded to a party, then seized her from behind in an attempt to sexually assault her.
She successfully bit Malcolm Clixby’s palm multiple times, prompting him to release her, after which she fled to a nearby fuel station for assistance.
Law enforcement was summoned, initiating a search for the offender, while officials ensured the safety of the young woman.
Later that evening, sometime before 8 PM, Malcolm Clixby reported to Darlington Police Station to surrender himself.
Prior to being handcuffed, he informed the officers: “I wish to report an incident I committed – I groped an individual in South Park and attempted to sexually assault her.”
Malcolm Clixby, from Darlington, was interrogated by investigators and subsequently charged with attempted rape and sexual assault.
He acknowledged sexual assault but refuted the charge of attempted rape. A jury at Durham Crown Court convicted him of the offence after a trial.
Malcolm Clixby returned to court today (October 9) and was sentenced to a total of 14 years, consisting of eight years in prison and six years on extended license.
