LIVERPOOL SEXUAL PREDATOR SENTENCED TO LIFE FOR HEINOUS CRIMES AGAINST BOYS

An offender named William Dixon, aged 70, has been convicted of multiple sexual offences including indecency, indecent assaults, rape, and attempted rape against two young boys. Over 30 years ago, Dixon sexually abused and psychologically scarred these boys. Last month, following a lengthy and challenging trial, he was found guilty of the horrific crimes. The case was highly complex due to the age of the offences, which occurred long before modern digital records, making investigation difficult. Detective work was praised as 'exceptional,' with the judge commending the officers involved, including Detective Constable Anna Jarowicki and PC Lyndsey Unsworth. The victims, described as 'very brave young men,' aged between four and 13 at the time, endured significant trauma, which has impacted their lives deeply. One victim developed lifelong substance addiction, while the other spoke of being 'scarred for life' and losing his 'soul' due to Dixon's abuse. The judge publicly praised the police and prosecution team, highlighting their thorough investigation and handling of the case, which was one of the highest standards ever seen. Dixon brazenly denied the charges at arrest, and previous convictions include a six-year jail term in 1997 for raping a young boy. During sentencing, Dixon faced a sentence of life imprisonment, and the judge condemned his utter lack of remorse and the contempt in his approach to his victims. Dixon’s health is poor, suffering daily pain and awaiting operations, yet he forced the boys to endure two trials. His actions have profoundly impacted his victims' lives, with one contemplating lifelong mental health issues and addiction. Authorities stressed that anyone with further information should contact police or Crimestoppers. Dixon was held responsible for offenses including indecency, indecent assaults, rape, and attempted rape. The judge expressed hope that Dixon would never be released again and publicly praised the work of the officers and legal professionals involved, especially as Dixon's mugshot is not available because he attended a voluntary interview. Support services for victims are recommended through NHS and local charities, emphasizing the importance of reporting sexual offences and seeking help.
