2007: EX MILKMAN JAILED FOR CHILD SEX ABUSE
A former milkman who sexually abused two young boys after grooming them with gifts and money was yesterday jailed for five years and placed on the sex offenders' register for life.Norwich Crown Court heard that Trevor Mallett, 62, also showed the boys porn and plied one of them with alcohol before going on to sexually assault them.
He also filmed one of the boys he assaulted.
The court heard the offences date back nearly 20 years but only recently came to light after one of the victims came forward to make a complaint.
The offences are said to have had a "devastating and lasting effect" on the two victims.
Mallett, of Hemming Way, Norwich, admitted indecent assault on the two boys when they were aged about 14 to 15.
Jailing him, Judge Daniel Worsley told him he had carefully groomed his first victim giving him gifts and money.
"You cunningly groomed him, worming your way into a position where you could sexually abuse him and gratify your abnormal desires." He said he had later started on his second victim - "this time on several occasions he plied him with alcohol in quantity".
He said the offences had had a devastating and lasting effect on the victims.
However, he accepted that the offences happened some time ago and he had not reoffended but said: "The victims have lived with the misery of the knowledge of what happened to them."
