Nathaniel Holt
Child sex offences *
Sentence
5 years 8 months imprisonment
Nathaniel Holt, a 26-year-old former teaching assistant from Bramley, West Yorkshire, was sentenced at Leeds Crown Court for a series of child sex offences. He pleaded guilty to assaulting two girls under the age of 13 by touching and causing one of them to engage in sexual activity. The court heard that Holt's devices contained thousands of indecent photographs and videos of children. His guilty plea was entered at Leeds Magistrates' Court in November, where he admitted to the making of 2,777 indecent images of children, taking an indecent photograph of a child, and recording someone under clothing without consent. As a teaching assistant, Holt had regular contact with children, which amplified the severity of his actions. During sentencing, a judge imposed a prison term of five years and eight months and a lifelong sexual harm prevention order to restrict his future interactions and protect the public, particularly children. The investigation was led by West Yorkshire Police following reports from the victims.
Pleaded guilty to multiple child sex offences, including assaulting two girls under 13, making 2,777 indecent images of children, taking an indecent photograph of a child, and recording someone under clothing without consent. Also made subject to a lifelong sexual harm prevention order.
