Wayne Morgan, aged 39, of Stonedale, Sutton Hill, faced trial at Shrewsbury Crown Court over offences committed between 2014 and 2020. The jury unanimously convicted him on two charges of causing a child to engage in sexual activity, and by a majority of 11 to one on six charges of sexual activity with a child and one charge of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity. The jury deliberated for five hours and one minute before reaching their verdicts.
