Sexual offences, Tyrone
Dear Police Service of Northern Ireland,
I would like to know the number of sexual offence charges there have been - ie offences under the Sexual Offences Act in Dungannon, Cookstown and Coalisland.
I would like the data divided into the years - 2011, 2012 and 2013.
If it's possible, could I find out the ages of those arrested beside the age of their victim, and what they were charged with exactly? And if they were subsequently convicted.
Yours faithfully,
Shauna
