Shareshill, South Staffordshire, WV10
Description
A child sex offender has been jailed for eight years after he was found guilty of his crimes in court.
Andrew Lucas, aged 56, of Shareshill, south Staffordshire, abused the survivor a number of years ago before the survivor bravely came forward and told people what happened.
We brought Lucas in for questioning, where he denied all of the reports.
Specialist officers worked to support the survivor as much as possible whilst evidence to support the case was gathered, leading to a number of charges being secured against Lucas.
In an earlier hearing at Stafford Crown Court, a jury found Lucas guilty of ten non-recent child sexual offences, including:
- Six counts of indecent assault of a boy
- Four counts of gross indecency with a boy
At Birmingham Crown Court on Friday (14 June), Lucas was sentenced to eight years behind bars.
