MAN JAILED FOR CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE DATING BACK ALMOST 50 YEARS
A man from Wolverhampton has received a 12-year prison sentence after being found guilty of child sexual abuse offenses committed in the 1970s.

With assistance from a team of experienced detectives, she helped bring Harris to justice, resulting in his sentence yesterday.
At Wolverhampton Crown Court, Harris was convicted on eight counts of rape and one count of sexual intercourse with a girl under the age of 13, with the crimes occurring starting in 1976.
