After a week-long trial at Hull Crown Court, the 81-year-old resident of Cliff Street in Bridlington was convicted by a jury of two counts of engaging in sexual activity with a minor, two counts of oral rape, and three counts of indecent assault, all involving teenage boys.
He received an 11-year prison sentence and will be registered as a sex offender for life.
