A 73-year-old man has been found guilty of eight counts of sexual activity with a child under 16 at Amersham Crown Court.

Roy Parsons, of Brooke Close, Bletchley, was found guilty on Tuesday 1st August and has been released on bail, to be sentenced on September 8th.

The Milton Keynes man has been convicted after a Thames Valley Police investigation which saw Parsons sexually assault the victim, both over and under her clothing, numerous times between November 2020 and January 2021.

At the time of the assaults, social distancing measures were also in place due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The 73-year-old was charged last June.

Investigating officer Detective Constable Martin Camp, of Milton Keynes CID, said: ā€œI am delighted for the victim that Roy Parsons has been convicted for his offending.

ā€œAnyone who has experienced sexual abuse should know they can speak to the police and feel confident they will be listened to.

ā€œI would like to reassure the public that we will always look to prosecute anyone who commits sexual offences against children, recent or non-recent.

ā€œAnyone who wishes to speak to us should call 101 or make a report on our website.ā€
