Fred Livesley, a paedophile has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for many sexual offences against two girls during the 1970s and 1980s.
Fred Livesley, now 78, perpetrated assaults on the girls, who were under 14 years of age at the time, in Bethersden, near Ashford.
His victims did not come forward until 2020, and police then investigated Fred Livesley.
In court, Fred Livesley was found guilty of eight counts of indecent assault and three counts of indecency with a child.
On July 31, 2023, Fred Livesley, formerly from St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex, was jailed for 15 years and ordered to serve an extra three years on licence following that term.
Investigating officer DC Antony White said: “Fred Livesley was brought to justice more than 40 years after his despicable crimes.
“Despite the passage of time and his failure to admit what he had done, we were able to prove multiple sexual offences, and he now faces a lengthy prison term.
“I hope the case encourages others who may have been victims of sexual abuse to report it to police. Perpetrators should face justice for their actions, no matter how long ago their crimes took place.”
