Man jailed for repeated sex abuse of a child 45 years ago

Brian Harrison, now 66, repeatedly sexually assaulted the school-aged child at an address in Sunderland when he was a young adult.

After living with the effects of Harrison's crimes for most of his life, the victim came forward and reported the assaults to police at the beginning of last year.

Following the report, Harrison was interviewed by officers where he admitted to the offences.

In May this year, Harrison, now of Poachers Lane, Warrington, Cheshire, was charged with a string of child sex offences.

He appeared at Newcastle Crown Court in August where he pleaded guilty to six offences.
