Terrence Brown, 60, and his son Lee Brown, 21, both from Warrington, have been brought to justice over a three-year campaign of abuse that started in 2017.

The pair had abused the girls separately and were not aware of each other's crimes, according to police.

The younger Brown, who admitted his crimes, of Freshwater Close in Great Sankey, was jailed for four years and four months at Liverpool Crown Court in May.

He had pleaded guilty to eight counts of sexual assault against two girls. This included multiple counts of oral rape and asking them to touch him inappropriately, according to Cheshire Police.

Yesterday his father Terrence, of the same address, was jailed for six years and six months following a trial at the same court.
