A forty five year old man from Sale has been jailed in Manchester today for multiple offences of child sexual abuse that began when he was a teenager
Martin Thorley of Broomville Avenue was today sentenced to 17 years in jail at Manchester Crown Square Court after pleading guilty to five counts of child sex offences including oral rape as well as multiple occasions of rape and digital penetration.
Thorley started to abuse his victim when he was a teenager and she was aged only four years old. Thorley would take his victim away from any adults who were present before sexually abusing the young girl. This abuse continued for around seven years.
Detective Constable Dawn Berry, from GMP’s City of Manchester division, said: “This kind of abuse has a devastating effect on the victims, casting shade over their childhood and creating mental trauma which stays with them throughout their lifetime.
“Thorley is a paedophile who exploited a young girl for his own sexual gratification. His behaviour is despicable and I can only hope this sentence brings some sense of retribution to his victim who had to suffer the consequences of his deplorable actions.”
“GMP will do their absolute utmost to thoroughly investigate all reports of this type of crime and would always encourage victims to speak to us.”
