Full Description

Keith Sillence, a 71-year-old resident of Pembroke, Pembrokeshire, appeared at Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court charged with sexual assault. The incident occurred on November 23, 2023, when Sillence allegedly sexually touched a woman without her consent.

Sillence admitted to the offence during a court appearance on October 9, 2024. He returned to court on November 12, 2024, for sentencing. The court determined that the offence was of such seriousness that only a custodial sentence could adequately address it. However, considering Sillence's realistic prospect of rehabilitation and his caring responsibilities for his wife, the judge suspended the sentence.

Sillence received a 36-week imprisonment sentence, suspended for two years. He was also ordered to register as a sex offender for 10 years, complete 25 days of rehabilitation activity requirements, pay £500 in compensation to the victim, £650 in court costs, and a £187 victim surcharge. Additionally, a two-year restraining order was granted in favour of the victim to prevent further contact.

The case was reported by the Western Telegraph, with coverage by court and crime reporter Tom Moody. The article highlights the partnership with USA Today for broader distribution, though the content focuses on local UK proceedings in Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court.
