Description
A County Durham paedophile who plied young boys with alcohol and showed them pornography before assaulting them has been jailed.
Alan Rutter, 78, of Easington, committed the offences over several years in the 1990s, with some of his victims as young as eight years old. During a trial at Newcastle Crown Court, the pensioner was found guilty of 11 charges including child abduction, sexual activity with a child, and indecent assault and buggery - now classed as rape.
He was sentenced to 19 years in prison, and will also be on the Sex Offenders' Register for life.
