Man jailed for sexual abuse of two teenage girls in North Tyneside.
A 50-year-old man has been jailed for sexually abusing two teenage girls in North Tyneside, after pleading guilty to multiple historic offences at Newcastle Crown Court.
Lee Scott, 50, has been sentenced to six and a half years in prison for the sexual abuse of two children in North Tyneside.
Scott sexually assaulted one teenage girl on multiple occasions and separately encouraged another girl to engage in sexual activity with him.
The offences came to light in June last year when Scott was charged over his crimes against the first victim.
Shortly afterwards, the second woman came forward, prompting further police investigation.
While remanded in custody, Scott denied any wrongdoing against both victims.
In November, Scott admitted the offences at Newcastle Crown Court.
Yesterday, he returned to the same court to be sentenced for child sexual assault and inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
The court highlighted the serious impact of Scott’s actions on his victims, reflecting the long-term harm caused by abuse.
His sentence demonstrates the legal system’s commitment to protecting children and ensuring offenders are held accountable, even for non-recent crimes.
