Ex-police chief jailed for 12 years for historic child sex abuse.



Former superintendent Gordon Anglesea, 79, showed little emotion as he was sentenced at Mold Crown Court to 12 years in prison for four indecent assaults on vulnerable teenage boys in the 1980s.
Another alleged victim, known only as Michael, spoke exclusively to Sky News and described Anglesea as "a tyrant, a bully and a predator".

The former care home resident travelled to North Wales to see Anglesea caged and described how powerful the abuser was back in the 1980s.
Michael said: "He was the police, he was Gordon Anglesea and now he is just a prisoner ... good riddance to him."
Anglesea's recent trial centred on two other men who explained how they had been abused - one described being "passed around like a handbag" by a group of powerful men.

In a police interview one of them said Anglesea's job ensured they could never speak out.
The victim told investigators from the National Crime Agency (NCA): "Who can you trust? You can't trust anybody, I can't trust anybody in my life."



NCA deputy director Roy McComb said: "Gordon Anglesea abused children who should have been safe in his presence and caused lasting damage that only his victims can truly know and understand.
"They have shared just some of that impact with the court during the trial. I believe the sentence of 12 years imposed by this court today reflects the serious abuse of trust that Gordon Anglesea perpetrated in order to facilitate his sexual offending. "

The former superintendent's legal team has promised to appeal his convictions and after he was led to the cells his solicitor proclaimed outside court that Anglesea was "an innocent man".
