An elderly Northampton man has been locked up for over 10 years for historic sex offences.

Raymond Quinn, of Trent Close, Kings Heath, was convicted last week after a jury found him guilty of the offences that took place in the 1970s.

The 80-year-old man denied all charges. His now-adult victim gave evidence of her experience during the two-week long trial.

But now, close to 40 years after the offences, Quinn has been jailed for 10 years and six months.

In sentencing, Recorder Mr Jacob Hallam said: "It's plain from what she had to say about these offences that they blighted her teenage years and cast a long shadow over her adult life.
