Jailed: Telford paedophile abused young girl and boy
A paedophile from Telford who sexually abused a girl and a boy three decades ago has been jailed for 12 years.
Michael Stanton, 69, committed a series of sex assaults upon the girl when she was between six and eight-years-old and the boy between nine and 11.
Neither can be named for legal reasons.
Stanton, of Sunbury Drive in Trench, was found guilty at Leicester Crown Court of three counts of indecency with a child and six charges of indecent assault.
The offences were committed between 1977 and 1984 in Leicestershire.
On the direction of the judge, Stanton, who formerly worked in medical equipment sales, was acquitted of two offences of raping the girl and two of attempting to rape her.
The jury also found him not guilty of three other indecency allegations relating to the girl.
