Bruce Marshall’s arrest and conviction followed a detailed investigation by Avon and Somerset Police, triggered unexpectedly during an unrelated inquiry. The case arose when officers visited a victim’s home and she tearfully revealed that she had suffered sexual abuse as a child. Subsequent interviews with witnesses whom she had confided in helped build a strong case against Marshall.
