A 76-year-old man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after he was found guilty over 19 serious sexual offences against children.

Bryan Lockwood was sentenced when he appeared at Lincoln Crown Court.

The result comes after a lengthy investigation by Lincolnshire Police.

DC Dave Ziller said:

"This is a very positive conclusion to a long investigation and one that hopefully allows the victims and families the chance to have some closure after many years.

"However this is also a reminder that there is no stereo typical offender or victim, every person, agency and organisation must continue to do all they can to keep children and young people safe from harm and encourage them to speak out."
