Man jailed for sexually assaulting boys in Cambridge in 1990s
The assaults happened both in public and in a property in the Cambridge area.
A man has been jailed for indecently assaulting two boys in the Cambridge area in the 1990s.
Michael Speed, 67, assaulted the boys when they were aged between seven and 13.
One of the victims was attacked on multiple occasions during a six-year period. The other was assaulted when he was aged 12 or 13.
The assaults happened both in public and in a property in the Cambridge area.
Speed, of Lichfield Road, Cambridge, admitted five counts of sexual assault.
Today (7/5) at Cambridge Crown Court he was jailed for eight years.
DC Eleanor Jaggard said: “This case once again shows that time is not a barrier to bringing people to justice.
“I would like to commend the victims for their bravery in reporting what happened to them all those years ago.
“Speed preyed on them in a despicable way so I’m pleased he has now been jailed.
“Tackling sexual offences is a priority for the constabulary and we will continue to do all we can to bring perpetrators before the courts.”
