Former Conservative councillor David Smith was sentenced to prison in May following his conviction for sexually abusing two young boys.
A jury unanimously found Smith guilty of 11 charges related to encouraging or participating in sexual acts with minors, crimes committed over ten years ago.
The trial at Teesside Crown Court presented disturbing evidence of the abuse, during which it was revealed that both victims were teenagers at the time of the incidents.
During the proceedings in April, one of the victims testified: “He used to buy me all sorts of things—he must have spent between £6,000 and £10,000 on me easily.
It was clothing, drugs—I smoked cannabis frequently and he would buy it for me.
He bought me it daily, at least £20 worth each time.
After smoking, I would just fall asleep, and when I woke, he would be touching me.” Smith, residing on Rainsford Crescent in Thorntree, Middlesbrough, received a 12-year prison term.
