Truro Crown Court Sentencing Results

Kevin Matthew Blake, 41, of Rosewarne Wollas Cottages, Camborne, was convicted of four counts of assault of a boy under 13 by touching. The offending came to light in 2023 when concerns were raised about his repeated refusal to undertake a DBS check. An investigation was launched, revealing that he had sexually touched two young boys, with one victim reporting multiple occasions. Blake denied the offences during his police interview.

Ashley Wood, who was 26 years old and of no fixed abode, was sentenced for further assault charges. He had previously been involved in an incident where he held a knife to a stranger's throat in Penzance and threatened to rape his partner, leading to his initial imprisonment. During his time in custody, he expressed fears of violence from other inmates and attempted self-harm multiple times before this sentencing.
