Sex offender jailed after admitting six counts of child abuse.

Nigel Reeson Jailed for Sexually Assaulting Two Girls

Nigel Reeson, 58, was sentenced to three years and eight months in prison for sexually assaulting two girls. The abuse began in 1994 when Reeson, then in his early 30s, began sexually assaulting the first girl. The abuse occurred regularly until the early 2000s. Cambridgeshire police said Reeson sexually touched the girl on multiple occasions, including one instance when he got into a bath with her.

In 2010, Reeson sexually assaulted another girl at her home. He was arrested at his home in Abbots Drive, Crowland, near Peterborough, in 2019 after the victims reported the abuse.

Reeson admitted six counts of indecently assaulting a girl under the age of 14, inciting a girl under 16 years of age to commit an act of gross indecency and assaulting a girl by touching.

DC Anna-Mae Dawson, the investigating officer, praised the victims for their bravery in coming forward.

"Reeson subjected the first victim to a prolonged period of awful abuse, before assaulting another girl," she said. "I'd like to commend the victims for the strength they showed in reporting what had happened. Once again, this case shows that time is not a barrier to bringing perpetrators of abuse to justice. If you've been a victim of abuse, I'd encourage you to report what happened."
