Hide AdFuller appeared before His Honour Judge Rupert Mayo on Friday (June 16) for sentencing after a jury found him guilty following of two counts of assault, and failed to reach a verdict on a third. The girl had to give video evidence because Fuller pleaded not guilty.
The court heard a victim impact statement from the girl’s mother who said the whole process had been ‘extremely hard’ on her and her daughter.
She said: “It’s been beyond awful for both of us.”
The court was told Fuller, who wore a blue suit for his hearing, has no previous convictions and continued to deny his guilt.
