DETECTIVES have told potential victims of a sex abuser who has been sentenced to more than six years in jail for historic offences, that it is not too late to contact them.
Terence Freeman, 78, who was convicted of indecently assaulting two young boys in the 1960s, is known to have Wiltshire links.
He admitted 10 offences against the children while they were at school in Gloucestershire between January 1965 and December 1968. Alldis, of Longsight, Manchester, was sentenced at Gloucester Crown Court on Wednesday to six and-a-half years in prison. Det Con Darren Smith said: "I am pleased that our investigations have resulted in a successful prosecution in this case, and that a man who abused two young boys more than 50 years ago has been brought to justice."I would like to thank the victims who came forward to give us information and helped to bring about this prosecution, and say to any other potential victims that it is not too late to come forward. We know that Freeman has had links to Wiltshire, Leicestershire and Manchester as well as Gloucestershire and if you have any information about similar offences in those locations please get in touch with us.
We can assure anyone who comes forward that they will be treated with respect and sensitivity.”
Anyone who wants to come forward should call Gloucestershire Constabulary on 101.
