Paedophile jailed for seven years for abusing boys
Paedophile picked on lonely boys with family problems as his victims, and put himself forward as a father figure before assaulting them
David Fenwick (64) had been found guilty of four counts of indecent assault on two boys and a charge of a serious sexual assault.
Peterborough Crown Court heard how Fenwick, from Barnack, was once a respected RAF officer and Stamford shop manager.
Sentencing Fenwick in July 1999, Judge Peter Morrell read letters of support from Fenwick’s friends and family and said: “They only saw the Dr Jekyll – this court has seen the Mr Hyde.”
Judge Morrell said he had abused the children’s trust and the trust of their parents.
The charges dated back to between 1978 and 1981.
