Paulo Teixeira, of Enfield, has been jailed for ten years after he was found guilty of two counts of sexual assault on a child under the age of 13.

Between 2018 and 2019, Teixeira sexually assaulted the child on two separate occasions.

The court heard how Teixeira used his position of trust as a family member to premeditate the sexual assaults and isolate the child to conduct the offences for his own sexual gratification.

Officers from North Area Child Abuse Investigation Team said:

“We would like to thank the child in this case for having the bravery to disclose these horrendous attacks, and for engaging with the judicial process, with the support of their family.

“Teixeira’s predatory actions have tarnished the family and the impact of his actions will forever stay with the child and their family.”

On 17th January 2025, Teixeira was found guilty by unanimous verdict following a trial at Wood Green Crown Court.

Teixeira received ten years imprisonment for Sexual Assault of a Child by Pe*******on, and four years imprisonment of Sexual Assault on a Child, to run concurrently with the first count.

Teixeira also received a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and a Restraining order both lasting for 15 years.

Texeira will also now be subject to Notification Requirements under the Sexual Offences Act for an indefinite period.
