During court hearings on 6th and 21st May 2025 at Lewes Crown Court, Tewson-Bozic admitted to sexual activity with the child but denied the other charges.
He was found guilty of all remaining offences at the same court.
As well as a lengthy prison sentence Tewson-Bozic was also handed a a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for 25 years and registration on the Sex Offenders’ Register.
Detective Constable Holly Ronaldson commended the victim’s courage, saying, “The bravery of the victim was imperative to this case, and I commend her for that.
“My hope is that she will go on to have a happy future knowing she did the right thing coming forward to police.”
Ronaldson added, “The sentence of a 15 years custodial reflects the seriousness of Tewson-Bozic’s offending and I thank the Judge for her consideration when posing this sentence.”
Encouraging victims of sexual offences to come forward, Ronaldson said, “If you are a victim of sexual offending, please report it to the police. We will listen, we will support you and we will do everything we can to get you justice.”
