101-Year-Old British Paedophile Jailed For 13 Years
Agency report
A 101-year-old British man has been sentenced to 13 years in prison over 21 sexual offences against children.
The paedophile, Ralph Clarke, is one of the oldest convicted criminals in British legal history.
He is from Birmingham in the English Midlands. He was found guilty of sexually abusing two sisters in the 1970s and early 1980s.
Clarke has no remorse, says Judge
“You present as a fragile old man. However, what was plain to see was that, despite your guilty pleas, you have no remorse whatsoever,’’ Judge Richard Bond stated at the sentencing.
The victims, who were between the ages of 4 and 13 when the abuse took place and are now in their late 40s, spoke to police after they saw Facebook posts celebrating Clarke’s 100th birthday.
However Clarke denied abusing the sisters and accused them of being serial liars.
Another offence
The retired lorry driver was also convicted of sex offences against a young boy, which he admitted during the trial at Birmingham Crown Court.
