A nonagenarian pensioner has been
caged for sex offences against a young girl committed over fifty
years ago.Thomas Charles Windle, 93, of Midfield Way, Orpington must have thought he would never be punished for his sordid crimes, which remained a secret into a sixth decade until his brave victim finally came forward.
He continued to lie about his past and fought the case to the end, forcing the complainant to give evidence at Croydon Crown Court (pictured), where a jury convicted him.
Windle pleaded not guilty, but was convicted of raping a girl aged under sixteen years-old between 1960 and 1971 at an address in Orpington and was sentenced to twelve years imprisonment.
He was also found guilty of indecently assaulting the same girl at the same address between the same dates and was sentenced to four years imprisonment, to run concurrently.
