Co-Founding Saxon Bassist Stephen Dawson Sentenced To Six Years In Prison For Child Sex Offences

According to BBC, former Saxon bassist Stephen Dawson has been sentenced to six years in prison after being found guilty of “four counts of indecent assault of a child under 14.” The decision was made during recent trial in Sheffield, UK. The case was related to various incidents in the 1990s, which saw him abusing a six-year-old girl. Detective Constable Robert Heath commented:

“[The victim] has shown extraordinary strength through coming forward. It is clear that his evil acts have remained with her throughout her life, and I hope this sentence goes some way to allowing her to move on from these traumatic events.”
