Description
A Salford man has been jailed after an investigation into non-recent child sexual abuse.
Andrew Austin (03/11/1967), of Sumner Road, Irlam o’th Heights , has yesterday (Monday 29 July 2019) been sentenced at Manchester Crown Court to 26 years in prison. He previously pleaded guilty to-
- Four counts of rape
- Six counts of indecent assault
- Two counts of indecency with a child
- One count of sexual assault
He will also have to sign the sex offenders register for life.
Between 1998 and 2004, at a number of properties in Salford, Austin sexually abused four victims who were aged between eight and 16 at the time.
In August 2018, relatives of one of the victims – along with a charity worker – came forward to police and a full investigation was launched with Austin arrested.
During police interview Austin denied all offences but admitted his crimes before the case went to trial.
