"Barot is a predatory sex offender who manipulated his time with a child
to carry out a horrific reign of abuse. I cannot speak highly enough of
the victim and her family who have shown immense bravery in coming to
police and supporting this prosecution. I would also like to thank the
network of professionals who are on hand to support victims and their
families through such ordeals."
