Pensioner Jailed For Historic Sex Offences

Woolwich Crown Court

A Huntingdon pensioner is starting a thirty-nine month prison sentence for sexually abusing a young girl four decades ago.

Alan Charles Jeffery, 75, of Hill Close, Sawtry committed the offences in south-east London in the 1970's.

He was convicted a Woolwich Crown Court of three counts of indecency with a child and one count of indecent assault.

The court also ordered him to sign the sex offenders register for an indefinite period.

The timespan of the original charges was between January 9, 1970 and January 8, 1979.

While awaiting trial he was prohibited from having unsupervised contact with a child under sixteen years-old as a condition of bail.
