Child molester who preyed on a five-year-old schoolgirl has had his sentence reduced
A child molester who preyed on a five-year-old schoolgirl has had his sentence reduced by a year.
Anthony Hudson was given a four year jail term at Swansea Crown Court in March after being found guilty of two sexual assaults.
The 56-year-old twice molested his victim when he was living near Aberystwyth some years ago.
Hudson, now of Windrush Close, Walsall, appeared at London’s Appeal Court on Friday where it was heard he abused his victim under the pretext of playing an innocent game.
However, Mrs Justice Lang, sitting with Lady Justice Rafferty and Mrs Justice Patterson, said Hudson’s fall from grace came after an otherwise “blameless and industrious” life.
She said: “We have concluded that the overall four-year sentence was manifestly excessive.”
Hudson’s sentence was cut down from four years to three years imprisonment.
