Maldon and Burnham Standard | News
Lee Brumby was sentenced to 16 years in prison for the historic offences including raping a child.
He was sentenced at Basildon Crown Court on Friday (September 19), having been convicted in August of five sexual offences against the same girl.
Brumby was convicted in August of two counts of raping a child, one count of indecency with a child and two counts of engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child.
Brumby was convicted of offences continuing up until his victim was around age 9 to 11.
Brumby suggested the victim was mentally ill - a claim Judge Richard Conley said was not supported by any evidence at all.
