82-Year-Old Jailed For Historic Sex Offences
An 82-year-old man has been jailed for six years for the sexual abuse of a girl in his care between 2001 and 2010.
Aubrey Shaw, of Collin Avenue, Gorton, was found guilty at Manchester Crown Court and ordered to sign the sex offenders register for life.
The girl, who was 4-years-old when the abuse began, came forward in 2014.
Detective Constable Kate Burrows said: "Aubrey Shaw was a predator who took advantage of the trust placed in him to look after his young victim. He completely betrayed that trust and spent years abusing this girl.
"I would like to pay tribute to the victim for the courage that she has shown coming forward and I hope this sentence shows that we are prepared to investigate sexual assaults, no matter how much time has passed."
