THAMES Valley Police has sentenced a man to nine years in prison for sexual offences.

John-Paul Walker, aged 44, of Dedworth Road, Windsor, has been sentenced to nine years in prison, with an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order put in place.

Following an eight day trial at Reading Crown Court, a unanimous jury found Walker guilty of one count of sexual assault by penetration and one count of attempted rape.

The offences happened in Berkshire in 2018, when the victim, a girl, was in her teens.

Investigating officer Detective Constable Kelly Ware said: “Thames Valley Police will always investigate sexual offences, no matter when they took place.

“These offences occurred in 2018 and were reported to us in 2022. Walker was arrested the same year and following an investigation was charged in 2023.

“I’m pleased that the jury believed the weight of evidence against Walker and found him guilty of the offences, which he has now been jailed for nine years.

“If you are a victim of a sexual offence or have information about a sexual offence, please contact the force. We have specially trained officers to support you.

“You can visit a police station, leave information via our website or call 101.”

Walker was jailed on Tuesday (1/4), following a trial in October last year.
