    TERENCE PREECE SENTENCED IN EPING FOR DECADES-OLD CHILD SEX ABUSE CASE

    Terence Preece, aged 67, has been sentenced to a decade behind bars after being found guilty of sexually abusing his own sister and half-sister during their childhoods in the 1960s and 1970s. The disturbing revelations emerged from a case that spanned several decades, with the abuse allegedly taking place within the confines of their grandparents' home in Epping, a town in Essex.

    It was only in 2016 that the truth surfaced publicly, when one of the victims' daughters, Julia Austin, who was then seriously ill, decided to report the matter to the police. Her disclosure prompted a thorough investigation that eventually led to Preece's arrest and subsequent trial.

    Julia Austin was just eight years old when the abuse began, with Preece, then 13, initiating the misconduct. The abuse persisted for over seven years, ceasing only when Julia reached the age of 16, at which point Preece was 21. The trauma inflicted upon her was profound, and her suffering was compounded by her untimely death in November 2018 from pancreatic cancer. Tragically, Julia never lived to see her attacker brought to justice.

    In addition to Julia's ordeal, Preece also subjected his sister, Lynne Day, now 65, to abuse from the age of 10. Lynne chose to waive her right to anonymity and publicly shared her harrowing experiences during the court proceedings.

    On Thursday, March 5, at Chelmsford Crown Court, Lynne recounted her suffering, revealing that Preece's abuse of her began when she was just a child. Her testimony added further weight to the case against him.

    During the trial, a statement was read aloud from Julia's daughter, Antonia Austin, aged 37. She described how her mother would often isolate herself, overwhelmed by depression and anxiety stemming from the abuse. Antonia expressed her pain, stating, "I was an innocent little girl, just ten years old, when it started and it changed me in ways I'm still trying to deal with. He was my big brother, he should have looked out for me. Finally everyone will know what Terence Preece is. He is a paedophile and a liar."

    Following the conviction, Preece faced nine counts of sexual abuse. The court sentenced him to ten years in prison, marking a significant moment of justice for the victims who endured years of suffering in silence. The case has brought to light the long-lasting scars of childhood abuse and the importance of speaking out, regardless of how much time has passed.
