In a significant legal case that has shocked the community of Abbey Hulton and the wider Stoke-on-Trent area, pensioner Terence Simpson has been sentenced to a lengthy prison term of 13 years following his conviction on multiple serious sexual offences. The verdict was delivered after a jury carefully examined the evidence presented during the trial, ultimately finding Simpson guilty of a series of disturbing crimes.

Simpson, aged 70, who resides on Taylor Road in Abbey Hulton, faced a total of eleven charges. These included attempted rape, three counts of indecent assault on a female, five charges of gross indecency involving a child, and two counts of indecent assault on a male. The nature of these offences has caused considerable distress among the victims and has raised concerns about safeguarding within the local community.

Following his conviction, Simpson was sentenced to serve 13 years in prison.

Furthermore, Simpson was subjected to a sexual offences prevention order, which places restrictions on his conduct and movements to prevent any potential reoffending. These legal measures underscore the seriousness with which the justice system treats sexual offences and the protection of vulnerable individuals. The case has garnered significant attention in the local media and community, highlighting the ongoing need for vigilance and support for victims of sexual abuse.
