A Hayle man has been convicted of multiple sexual assault charges against children, facing significant prison time after a lengthy trial
Hayle: A man named Nelson Crocker has been found guilty of some serious charges. He was accused of sexually assaulting and raping children over several years.
Crocker faced 29 charges in total, including some really disturbing ones. He was said to have incited kids under 13 to engage in sexual activity.
At just 26 years old, he lived in Penmare Terrace, Hayle. The jury heard that he took advantage of his victims in two towns in Cornwall over the last 20 years. He denied everything, claiming the kids were lying to ruin his life.
The trial lasted two weeks, and the jury heard that the first complaints came during the Covid lockdown. It didn’t take them long to reach a verdict.
They found him guilty on 27 counts but cleared him of two charges related to inciting a boy. Now, he’s in custody and will be back in court for sentencing on February 27.
