Declan Tracey, 22, faces the consequences of his actions after admitting to raping two young girls, expressing fear about what lies ahead
Tracey’s actions have left lasting scars on his victims. They’ve shared how his abuse has haunted them, causing nightmares and deep emotional pain. It’s heartbreaking to hear how they struggle with trust and anxiety because of what he did.
In court, it came out that Tracey was just a teenager when he committed these crimes. He had a rough childhood, getting into drugs at a young age. His lawyer mentioned that while he’s scared, he wants to use this time to reflect and grow. It’s a sad story, but it’s important to recognize the impact on the victims.
After admitting to rape and multiple counts of attempted rape, Tracey was sentenced to seven years in prison. He’ll have to serve at least two-thirds of that time before he can even think about getting out. The judge pointed out the seriousness of his actions, especially since there were two victims involved.
Detective Sergeant Bob Sandham praised the bravery of the victims throughout this ordeal. He emphasized that violence against women and girls won’t be tolerated, and they’re committed to supporting anyone who comes forward. It’s a tough road ahead, but there’s hope for justice and healing.
