Cleethorpes Man Jailed for Seven Years Over Brutal Abuse and Sexual Assault
Clive Lennon Convicted After Intense Five-Day Trial
Clive Lennon, 44, was slammed with a seven-year prison sentence after a tough trial at Hull Crown Court in October 2025. He was found guilty of sexual assault by penetration and coercive, controlling behaviour.
The court also issued Lennon with a lifetime restraining order to keep him away from the victim.
Swift Police Action Following Victim’s Brave Report
Humberside Police launched an immediate investigation after a woman stepped forward in April 2025, revealing Lennon’s relentless verbal abuse and manipulative control.
Lennon was arrested on charges of sexual assault by penetration. Despite denying all allegations in police interviews, he was held in custody as the evidence stacked up against him.
Officer Praises Victim’s Courage, Urges Others to Speak Out
“This woman endured unrelenting derogatory and degrading abuse,” said Police Constable Imran Akbar from the Protecting Vulnerable People Unit. “Lennon’s threatening conduct severely impacted her daily life — including threats to her and her pets.”
“It’s been a lengthy and painful process for her, especially as Lennon refused to accept responsibility and forced her to relive the trauma in court.”
“I commend her courage. We urge all victims or witnesses of abuse to come forward and report it. We take all reports seriously and will hold offenders to account.”
