Description
A Baxenden man has been jailed for sexually abusing two children.
Eoin Kelly, now 29, was a juvenile himself when he committed the offences but one of the victims disclosed in 2020 what had happened.
During the investigation, the second victim came forward with a complaint against Kelly.
Kelly, of Alliance Street, was convicted in June of rape, three counts of sexual assault on a child and four counts of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
The Judge sentenced Kelly to two years imprisonment.
Det Sgt Craig Atkinson of Lancashire Police, said: “These were very serious offences committed by Eoin Kelly against two young victims. He was himself a youngster at the time.
“Reports of sexual offences are always taken extremely seriously by Lancashire Police, whether they are recent or non-recent.
“If offences are reported from a number of years ago, we will always investigate fully and attempt to bring offenders to justice.”
