A man has been jailed for eight years for a raft of child sex offences.
Andrew Fairley, 58, appeared at Carlisle Crown Court today for sentencing. The offences relate to incidents against two boys that occurred between January 2006 and July 2011 in Rowrah.
Fairley, 58, of Musselburgh, East Lothian, was sentenced to eight years in prison for:
- Causing a child under 13 to watch an image of sexual activity
- Engage in sexual communications with a child
- Inciting a boy under 13 to engage in sexual activity
- Two counts of engaging in sexual activity with a child
- Engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child
- Sexual assault on a male
Detective Sergeant Tom Windridge, of Cumbria police, said: “Fairley used his position of trust to exploit his victims for his own fulfilment.
“Today’s result show that we are committed to protecting children from sexual abuse.
“Our specialist officers work together in partnership with support agencies across Cumbria to investigate and bring perpetrators of these horrific crimes before the courts.
“I encourage anyone who has concerns that a child might be a victim of online child sexual exploitation or abuse to contact us.”
