Liscard Man Sentenced for Historical Sexual Abuse

A man from Liscard has been sentenced to 18 years in prison with three years on extended licence after being found guilty of 30 counts of historical sexual abuse against two children in Wallasey.

Brian Cawood, 61, of Silverlea Avenue, Liscard, was sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court on Wednesday, February 14th, following a jury verdict.

The offences, which date back to the 1980s and 1990s, were found proven after a trial. Cawood has also been handed a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and will be required to sign the Sex Offender Register for life.

Detective Constable Becky Robinson stated: "I hope this sentencing shows that time is no barrier in reporting offences to Merseyside Police and we will take every report extremely seriously, regardless of when it occurred."

"This result was only possible thanks to the sheer determination and bravery of his victims, despite Cawood denying the offences. Thankfully a jury saw through his lies and he will now spend a considerable amount of time in prison."
