November 2016. In the UK, a former North Wales Police Superintendent has been Jailed for 12 Years for Historical Child Sex Abuse. Gordon Anglesea, 79, from Old Colwyn, was Convicted of One Charge of Indecent Assault against One Boy and Three Indecent Assaults against Another. The offences took place between 1982 and 1987, when both Boys were 14 or 15. Jailing him at Mold Crown Court on Friday, Judge Geraint Walters said Anglesea “Grossly Abused” the Trust placed in him by the boys. “The consequences for them has been Profound, indeed Life Changing,” he added. In a Victim Impact Statement, a Victim said he tried to Commit Suicide “simply because I couldn’t bear to Live with the Memories of what that man Did to Me”. Another Victim, who was sent to Bryn Alyn Care Home at the age of 13, described how he had felt Fearful of Anglesea even as an Adult. He said: “Of all my Abusers, Anglesea was the Worst. He was the One I Feared the Most.” Anglesea wiped his eye as he heard One Victim had Started Drinking at the age of 14 and had been an Alcoholic All of his Adult Life. Anglesea’s defence said Custody would be “Extremely Difficult” for him. The Defenders of The Law need to be Trusted. The More ‘Difficult’ it is for him, The Better.
