Offence Summary

Clint Barnes was sentenced for three counts of indecent assault against a teenage/young adult male victim in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Full Description

Clint Barnes, 56, from Morecambe, appeared at Exeter Crown Court and was sentenced after being convicted of three counts of indecent assault.

The offences took place in the Bideford area of North Devon during the late 1990s and early 2000s. All three charges related to the same victim, who was a teenager or young adult at the time. Barnes touched the victim sexually over clothing and made unwanted sexual remarks.

The victim reported the abuse in 2022 after making disclosures during a hospital visit. Barnes was sentenced to one year in prison, suspended for three years. He was also ordered to complete 250 hours of unpaid work, undertake a rehabilitation activity requirement, and pay £2,500 in compensation to the victim.

Barnes must sign the Sex Offenders’ Register for 10 years. Detective Constable Kerry Mitchell of Devon and Cornwall Police stated: “I would like to thank the victim for his immense courage in reporting this to us and remaining engaged during the court process. While this conviction may not have resulted in an immediate custodial sentence, it still goes to show that victims of unwanted sexual touching will be believed when reporting abuse to us, regardless of how much time has passed since the incidents.”
