Paedophile jailed for abusing young girls

21

A PAEDOPHILE has been jailed for abusing three girls after offering troubled families refuge.

Brian Macey-Morris, formerly of York Road, Montpelier, gave shelter to lone parents with drug and other problems, so he could gain access to his victims and abuse them.

He was part of a paedophile ring (click here for more info on the paedophile ring he was involved in) which operated in Bristol in the 1980s, carrying out sex assaults at his home and on camping trips he organised, Exeter Crown Court heard yesterday.

Macey-Morris is already serving a seven-year sentence passed at Bristol Crown Court last year for abusing a girl. The case was reported by the Bristol Post and the publicity saw three more girls come forward.

The 73-year-old is currently held in the hospital wing of Exeter Prison, having had a stroke shortly after being sent to Dartmoor Prison.

After admitting a charge of attempted rape and four indecent assaults, he was jailed for an extra five years, taking his total sentence to 12 years.

The charges related to abuse of three other girls, aged four to 11.

Anna Vigars, prosecuting, said one of the three new complainants came forward during Macey-Morris’ trial last year while the others contacted police shortly afterwards.

Paul Grumbar, defending, said: “The defendant ran an open house. A lot of people visited and stayed there.

“These offences took place when some of the parents were not very good at looking after their children. Some were rather abandoned and left there.

“He feels very strongly that the origins can be traced to a time when he was married and his wife was killed in a motorcycle accident. He says he changed after that.”

Judge Francis Gilbert QC told Macey-Morris he was imposing the sentence which the judge at his original trial at Bristol would have passed had he known of all the crimes.
