Record details
Norman Williams (08/05/1965) from Atherton, was jailed for his offending against three victims.
Williams was found guilty by a jury at Bolton Crown Court in March 2024 of 10 counts of indecent assault, 6 counts of rape, and one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
Today (Tuesday 25 June) he was sentenced to 25 years in jail.
Two of the victims were groomed by Williams when they were approximately 12 years old and he gave them items including cigarettes, alcohol and money.
During a four-year period which began in 1998, Williams went on to sexually abuse them at two addresses where he lived in Atherton.
A third victim was also sexually abused by Williams at his home.
Detective Constable Chris Waddicar of GMP’s Major Incident Team, said: “Firstly, I want to thank the victims in this case for coming forward and being courageous enough to allow us to conduct a thorough investigation.
“Williams’ offending was depraved – he picked on vulnerable young children who were unable to defend themselves.
“As an investigation team, we hope today’s sentencing can give them some reassurance that justice has been served and their perpetrator is locked up behind bars where he can no longer harm vulnerable members of our community.
