A PAEDOPHILE who moved to the North-East after his release from prison, was jailed yesterday for sexually assaulting two young girls.
John Bratton, 59, was living in Scunthorpe when he was convicted in June 1976, of indecently assaulting two girls and two boys, aged between ten and 13.
He was jailed for six months.
Yesterday, Bratton was jailed for two and a half years at Teesside Crown Court, after a jury found him guilty of two indecent assaults on two girls, aged nine and ten.
Bratton, of Milford Road, Stockton, was ordered to remain on licence after his release, facing recall to prison for two and a half years should he reoffend.
Judge David Bryant said: "The previous conviction was many years ago, but I must regard you as a man who has a perverted sexual interest in children.
It is my duty to protect children."
