A child sex offender in Staffordshire has been jailed for more than a decade. 

Stephen Sterry, 63, of Imingham, East Lincolnshire, was sentenced to 12-years imprisonment last week (Thursday 19 June) after he was previously found guilty of 11 counts of indecent assault of a girl.

The historic offences happened a number of years ago in Tamworth.

An investigation was launched into Sterry in 2019 after one of the survivors bravely came forward and told us what had happened.

We worked tirelessly to capture all of the evidence possible and to support the survivors during this time, eventually securing the charges against him and taking him to court.
