STEPHEN FLIGG FROM ACOMB SENTENCED TO 12 YEARS FOR HORRIFIC SEXUAL ABUSE IN YORK

In a case that has shocked the local community of Acomb and the wider York area, Stephen Paul Fligg, aged 58, has been handed down a severe prison sentence of 12 years after being found guilty of heinous sexual offenses involving young girls. The crimes, which spanned several years, involved the abuse of two sisters who were tragically just five years old at the time the abuse began.

During the court proceedings, it was revealed that Fligg subjected the young victims to a series of disturbing acts, including forcing one girl to watch explicit adult acts. The court heard how he manipulated the victims by offering gifts as a means of coercion, further complicating the trauma inflicted upon them.

Both women, now adults, bravely testified about the lasting impact of Fligg’s actions, describing persistent nightmares and emotional scars that continue to affect their lives. The court was told that the abuse had a profound and enduring effect on their mental health and well-being.

Following a thorough trial, Fligg was convicted on multiple counts related to sexual assault and abuse. In addition to the prison sentence, the court imposed lifelong restrictions to prevent him from engaging in activities that could pose a risk to others in the future. The sentencing underscores the severity of his crimes and the justice sought for the victims who endured years of suffering at his hands.
