Hide AdA Sussex Police spokesman said: “This matter was only reported to us in 2012, but we carried out a thorough investigation and were able to help achieve justice for the victim even after all these years.
“It shows that we will always take such reports seriously no matter how long ago they happened. The victim was supported by ourselves and appropriate welfare and counselling through the case and her evidence was key in securing Loten’s conviction.”
