Dewsbury Child Abuser Jailed 13 years

A CHILD abuser has been jailed for 13 years after his wicked crimes against three young boys left them with “indelible scars”.

Judge Peter Benson branded 59-year-old Dewsbury man Jack Morris “a thoroughly wicked and evil person” who would do anything for his own gratification.

Although Morris, of Church Street, pleaded guilty last month to a series of charges including a serious sexual assault and indecent assault Bradford Crown Court heard that just before he came to court to admit the offences he had sent angry and bitter letters to his main victim.

His own barrister Zia Chaudhry conceded that the letters didn’t make pleasant reading, but he said Morris had regretted posting them.

Back in the mid-1980s Morris, who was then employed as a care worker, was given a suspended prison sentence for sexual offences against a vulnerable man with mental health problems.

The abuse of the three boys, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, was carried out in the Bradford area in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Mr Chaudhry told the court that Morris had explained the abuse of the boys by suggesting that it started at a time when he was “experimenting with his own sexuality”.
