Sexual Offences: Young People
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people under the age of 21 were convicted of sexual abuse in the last 12 months.
Answered by Heidi Alexander
The Ministry of Justice publishes data on convictions for a wide range of offences, including sexual offences and various ages of defendants/offenders in the Outcomes by Offence tool: December 2023.
This can be accessed by navigating to the ‘Prosecutions and convictions’ tab and using the Age Range filter and the Offence Group filter to select relevant offences in the Outcomes by Offence data tool.
