A former football coach has been jailed for 13 years for sexual assaults against a child in the 1970s and 80s.
Anthony Pickering, 62, who is currently in prison after being convicted of similar offences in 2018, was sentenced today (27 September) at Carlisle Crown Court.
He was also placed on the Sex Offender Register for life.
Pickering was convicted by a jury in April 2024 for attempt rape and two counts of indecent assault against a single male victim, who was a boy at the time.
The assaults were committed while Pickering was a football coach at a youth football team based in the Windermere area.
Pickering’s further offending came to light after his victim saw a newspaper article in 2020 covering his other convictions.
