62-year-old man jailed for more than two decades for historic child sex offences in Staffordshire
A 62-year old man has been jailed for more than two decades after he admitted 27 historic child sexual offences.
The man, who police is not naming to protect the identity of the survivors, inflicted a campaign of abuse for over a decade.
In 2019, the survivors bravely came forward and told police about what had happened.
Despite initially pleading not guilty, the offender admitted all 27 counts and was jailed for 23 years, with one-year extended sentence, at Stafford Crown Court on Thursday (31 August).
As part of his sentencing, he was placed on the sex offenders' register for life and handed an indefinite sexual harm prevention order.
Detective Sergeant Katie Page, who dealt with the case, said: "If it wasn't for the sheer bravery of the survivors in this case, we wouldn't have been able to secure justice following the campaign of abuse they suffered.
"I'd like to thank them for coming forward and supporting this investigation so valiantly, which I hope serves as an example to anyone who might be a victim of sexual assault, no matter how recent, to get in touch with us."
