The Boston Paedophile, Brian Baverstock, who lured a minor with illicit drugs and presents prior to sexually assaulting her repeatedly has received an 11-year prison sentence.
Upon Brian Baverstock’s arrest, law enforcement discovered cannabis, cocaine, and Diazepam at his residence.
A 54-year-old resident of Freiston Road, Boston, was sentenced for charges against his young victim committed between December 2021 and April 2023.
This inquiry revealed several historical drug and violence-related charges dating back to 2019, for which Brian Baverstock has been charged and later punished.
Detective Constable Aaron Gorman spoke following the conclusion of the case at Lincoln Crown Court yesterday (Thursday, June 19).
He said: “Brian Baverstock is a sexual predator who groomed and manipulated the victim with gifts and illegal drugs to gain her confidence. He then exploited this trust to commit these reprehensible acts.
“This conviction ensures that he can no longer harm others, providing reassurance that justice has been served through due process. We take all reports of sexual offences with the utmost seriousness.
“Our investigations are exhaustive and relentless, dedicated to exposing the truth and securing justice. Those who commit these offences will be held fully accountable, with every effort made to bring them to justice and protect the community from further harm.”
The court heard how following the allegations made by his young victim, Brian Baverstock was arrested, and a search of his property located a set of scales, just under 60 grams of cannabis, 73 tablets believed to be Diazepam, and just under 14 grams of cocaine, quantities of which are consistent with a supplier at street level of such drugs.
Brian Baverstock never wanted to accept responsibility for his acts, and instead put his victim through a trial.
He was ultimately found guilty by a jury following a six-day trial of two counts of assault by penetration with a part of body and sentenced to 11 years in prison for each count, to run concurrently.
He also denied two counts of sexual assault but was found guilty of those and sentenced to two years for each, as well as supplying cannabis which resulted in a six-month sentence. Those sentences will run concurrently.
Brian Baverstock pleaded guilty to possession of a Class A drugs, possession Class B drugs, and possession of Class C drugs, and received a one-week sentence for each, which will run concurrently.
He also pleaded to historic offences dating back to 2019 of affray, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, supply of a Class A drugs, supply of cannabis, and possession with intent to supply cannabis; he was sentenced to two months, one month, 16 months, two months and, two months respectively.
Brian Baverstock was handed an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order and will appear on the Sex Offenders Register for life.
