Convicted: 18/03/2004

Child sex abuser.

Paedophile Jailed for Eight-and-a-Half Years

Keith Morris, 63, has been sentenced to eight-and-a-half years in prison for sexually abusing two young girls. The court convicted him on two counts of indecent assault, while the jury failed to reach a verdict on a rape charge. Morris, who was living in Berwick-on-Tweed at the time of the offences, denied the abuse charges.

Morris will be placed on the Sex Offenders Register for life and banned from working with children upon his release. Judge Peter Openshaw QC, who presided over the trial, stated that Morris posed a clear risk to children.

Morris had attempted to portray himself as a victim of a "wicked conspiracy," but the judge rejected this claim, stating his failure to admit guilt showed a lack of remorse. The offences occurred over a period of several years.

Morris's lawyer argued that his client's health conditions, including angina, diabetes, and anemia, would make the sentence more severe. However, Judge Openshaw maintained that the sentence reflected the gravity of the crimes.

In addition to the sexual abuse charges, Morris faced allegations of downloading child pornography from the internet. These charges have been placed on his file.
