Alex Sly

Alex Sly, aged 25 and residing at HMP Nottingham at the time of sentencing, appeared at Nottingham Crown Court where he entered guilty pleas to charges of sexual assault and assault by penetration. The offences involved non-consensual sexual acts that caused significant harm to the victim, as detailed in the prosecution's case presented by Nottinghamshire Police.

The investigation began following a report to authorities, leading to Sly's arrest and subsequent charges. Evidence gathered included witness statements and forensic analysis, which corroborated the victim's account of the assaults. Sly's guilty pleas were entered early in the proceedings, sparing the victim from reliving the events in a full trial.

The judge, in delivering the sentence, highlighted the breach of trust and the lasting impact on the victim, describing the acts as 'deplorable'. Sly was jailed for three-and-a-half years, with the court aiming to reflect the seriousness of the sexual violence involved. This case was part of a broader round-up of convictions reported by the Mansfield Chad on 13th November 2025, with Nottinghamshire Police providing the imagery and details to inform the public about recent sentencings.
