Get Surrey
July 31, 2014
An illegal immigrant has been jailed after making a last-minute guilty plea to three counts of sexual assault against a young girl aged under 13.
Duberney Jaramillo Restrepo, of Victoria Road, Guildford, appeared at Guildford Crown Court last week for a four-day trial.
Jaramillo Restrepo decided to plead guilty on Tuesday (July 22) and was subsequently sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment.
His victim was 10-years-old at the time the offences first took place.
DI Stewart Leahy, said: “This outcome has been made possible thanks to the bravery of the victim who had the courage to come forward and report this man’s appalling behaviour.
“I would also like to acknowledge the relentless work of a number of dedicated officers who tracked down the offender and brought him before the courts.
“The tenacity of the investigating officers demonstrates that Surrey Police will use all available methods and resources to relentlessly pursue those who commit serious offences of this nature and bring them to justice.
“Surrey Police has a dedicated team that specialises in investigating serious sexual offences and reports will be thoroughly investigated. Victims can be assured that their welfare will be our priority.
“Any victim of a sexual offence is encouraged to come forward to Surrey Police and report any similar incidents.”
Jaramillo Restrepo has also been an immigration absconder for the last four years and his details have been referred to the Immigration Office.
