SPECIALIST officers who work to protect children from sexual offenders and catch perpetrators have secured three charges against a man.
Officers with our Child Abuse Investigations Team had launched enquiries after reports of sexual activity between a man and a child in the Tilbury area.
This also followed reports of a man breaching his bail conditions.
We spoke to the child, putting support in place, and carried out a number of enquiries to locate a person of interest on Monday 27 November.
After some swift investigative work, an arrest was made by officers from our Operational Support Group.
Tyrese Smith, 19, of Grove Road, Romford, has since been charged with three counts of engaging in sexual activity with a child.
He appeared at Southend Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday 29 November and was remanded in custody until a hearing at Basildon Crown Court on Tuesday 2 January.
The post Man charged with a number of sex offences with child in Tilbury appeared first on Your Thurrock.
