THE first man to be sentenced as part of the historical abuse inquiry should be jailed for two years, said the Prosecution in the Royal Court this morning.The court were sitting for the sentencing of Michael Aubin (46), a former resident of the old Haut de la Garenne children’s home who sexually assaulted two boys when he was a teenager in care at the home.
Aubin admitted committing two acts of gross indecency and indecently assaulting a boy at Haut de la Garenne in the 1970s, when the child was aged between eight and nine, as well as indecently assaulting another boy there aged nine or ten. At the time of these offences, Aubin was just under 15.
Crown Advocate Stephen Baker asked for a total of two years’ imprisonment, but said that the prosecution accepted that Aubin had grown up without parental affection and was subjected to sexual abuse himself by adults.
The court were due to deliver their sentence this afternoon.
