'Respectable Family Man' Jailed For Child Sex Offences

A child sex predator, convicted of multiple offences, is starting a twenty-two year prison sentence.

Mark Bolton, 55, of New Malden, south-west London was found guilty at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court after a trial.

An urgent police investigation was launched and Bolton was arrested by Metropolitan Police officers the same day.

Detective Constable Katy Waddington, who led the investigation by the Met’s South West BCU said: “The details of this case were some of the most distressing I have heard in six years investigating child abuse.

“Mark Bolton sexually abused the children having groomed them and ultimately secure their continued silence. 

“He used covert hidden cameras and his knowledge of IT to further his sexual interest in children all the while positioning himself as a respectable family man.

“I continue to be in awe of victims who come forward to face their abusers, even more so in cases where the abuse was by someone they trusted. 

“There are not enough words to describe the bravery and dignity shown. 

“I hope the children and their relatives will find some peace moving forward, and the lengthy prison sentence will reassure them as they begin to rebuild their lives.”
