Daniel Jarvis

Daniel Jarvis, aged 51 from Cowells Road in Woodstock, appeared at Oxford Magistrates' Court where he pleaded guilty to a single count of sexual assault involving a female victim. The offence took place in Witney on April 19, 2024.

The court heard details of the incident, which occurred in a public setting in Witney, Oxfordshire. Jarvis, who admitted the charge, was sentenced to a community order comprising six months of alcohol rehabilitation treatment, requiring him to comply with the instructions of a responsible officer and attend up to 10 appointments. Additionally, he was mandated to perform 80 hours of unpaid work within 12 months and ordered to pay £500 in compensation to the victim.

As the offence was sexual in nature, Jarvis was placed on the sex offenders' register and required to register at Banbury Police Station for a period of five years. This measure is standard for convictions involving sexual assault to monitor and protect the public. The sentencing reflects the court's consideration of rehabilitation alongside punitive elements, given Jarvis's guilty plea and the circumstances of the case.

Thames Valley Police, responsible for the area, investigated the matter following a report from the victim. No further details on the specifics of the assault were disclosed in open court proceedings, in line with protections for victims of sexual offences. The case was reported in the Oxford Mail as part of the regular 'Scales of Justice' column detailing recent magistrates' court outcomes.
