In 2023, the Offender Database recorded that Charlie Mulvey, then 20, of Linkenholt Way, Leigh Park, Havant, Hampshire, was sentenced for a sexual assault and criminal damage. On Tuesday, 10 January 2023, Mulvey appeared at Portsmouth Magistrates’ Court, where he pleaded guilty to intentionally sexually touching a woman without consent. The court reported that the incident occurred on Friday, 14 October 2022, in Lechlade, Gloucestershire.
The investigation established that on the same day as the sexual assault, Mulvey also destroyed an advertising sign belonging to The Riverside pub in Lechlade. Following a report of the incident, Gloucestershire Constabulary and Hampshire Constabulary worked to charge the defendant under the Sexual Offences Act 2003. The prosecution reported that the combined offences of sexual violence and property damage warranted a formal community-based intervention.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Mulvey’s conduct in Lechlade, Gloucestershire, represented a serious violation of the victim’s bodily autonomy. Portsmouth Magistrates’ Court heard that the defendant had no excuse for the intentional touching or the subsequent damage to the pub’s property. The judge noted that the community order was designed to address Mulvey’s behaviour through rehabilitation and financial restitution.
The judge noted that Mulvey must complete his rehabilitation requirements to mitigate the risk of reoffending. For his actions in Lechlade, the defendant was ordered to pay a total of £795, which included £500 in compensation for the damaged sign, a £95 victim services surcharge, and £200 in costs. The prosecution reported that the rehabilitation appointments were a mandatory component of the sentence to ensure the defendant addressed the underlying issues related to his offending.
