Back in 2023, Luke Bradshaw, the Northampton Paedophile, was facing imprisonment for perpetrating eight years of rape and sexual abuse against a young girl, commencing when she was merely nine years old.
The court was informed that the abusive campaign perpetrated by Luke Bradshaw, 34, escalated over time.
Luke Bradshaw, a resident of Northampton, has been convicted of 12 offences, which include two counts of rape, two counts of sexual activity with a minor, two counts of assault by penetration, and additional charges of sexual assault.
Northamptonshire Police initiated an investigation following the girl’s report, resulting in Luke Bradshaw’s arrest.
Although Luke Bradshaw first refuted the charges, he subsequently confessed to possessing obscene photos of children and enticing a minor to participate in sexual behaviour.
He refuted the other twelve charges; nonetheless, a jury at Northampton Crown Court rendered a guilty verdict following five hours of deliberation.
Luke Bradshaw is scheduled to appear in the same court on 26 July for sentencing over his offences.
PC Emily Faulkner and Det Con Nayhaa Saleem, who conducted the investigation, praised the victim for her courage.
We have collectively secured that Luke Bradshaw will be incarcerated for his heinous offences.
“Although no judicial verdict could obliterate the recollections of her suffering at his hands, we aspire that she can now progress towards the promising future that lies ahead, supported by her robust familial network.”
The sexual exploitation of a minor is an utterly reprehensible offence, and we aspire that this case instils confidence in the public that Northamptonshire Police will make every effort to incarcerate perpetrators and provide extensive support to survivors.
We still have no information as to his sentence.
