A 75-YEAR-OLD bus driver who worked in Warrington has been jailed for two years for indecently assaulting two children.
William French, of Heather Close, Birchwood, abused the victims who were aged between eight and 13 at the time.
The paedophile pleaded guilty to 21 counts of indecent assault against children, and was sentenced at Chester Crown Court on Friday.
French, who has no previous convictions, was ordered to sign the Sex Offenders Register for life.
Cheshire Police says the offences related to historical abuse.
DC Laura Smith said "Cheshire Police always treat these cases extremely seriously and we have officers who have been specially trained to deal with the difficult and sensitive nature of these investigations.
"I would always encourage anyone who has been a victim or has concerns about someone who they believe is a victim to come forward and speak to us."
