Man, 81, jailed for sexually abusing two boys

An 81-year-old man from Bridlington who sexually abused two teenage boys has been jailed for 11 years.

Morris Dixon, of Cliff Street, was found guilty of six counts of non-recent sexual assault after a seven-day trial.

The offences include three counts of indecent assault on a child and three counts of sexual activity with a child.

Dixon was sentenced at Grimsby Crown Court on 7 February and will be on the sex offenders register for life.

Det Con Megan Witty, who led the investigation, said: "Both men have been nothing but supportive, understanding and patient throughout the lengthy investigation.

"Dixon is going to be behind bars for a very long time because of their strength and bravery in reporting what happened to them as teenagers."
