Jail for man who sexually abused four young boys A MAN who groomed and sexually abused four boys in Sheffield over a number of years has been jailed for 13 years and seven months. Peter Jones, 41, of Studfield Crescent, Sheffield, abused three boys between 1994 and 1997 and another boy between 2006 and 2018. An investigation was launched in 2017 when one of his victims came forward and reported the abuse to police. Jones pleaded guilty to offences of indecent assault on a male child and sexual assault on a male child at a Sheffield Crown Court hearing on October 1. He was sentenced on Friday December 13 at Leeds Crown Court.
Officer in the case Detective Constable Helen Barrett said: “Jones subjected his victims to sustained abuse over a period of years. “They have been incredibly brave in coming forward and reporting what has happened to them; I’d like to praise them for their courage and resilience. “I welcome this sentencing. I hope that knowing Jones is behind bars for a significant amount of time will help his victims to move forward.” Anyone with concerns about child sexual exploitation can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, call police on 101 or 999 in an emergency.

ON DECEMBER 14, Barnsley West NHP ran Penistone Operation Voyager. Operation Voyager saw officers and partner agencies come together in a day of enforcement and public engagement. On the A629 in Thurgoland, seven vehicles were recorded at between 30 and 35 mph and 15 at between 35 and 40 mph. All of the drivers were advised.
Nine were breathalysed under the Christmas Drink Drive Campaign – all came back with negative results. A sergeant, four police constables and five PCSOs all took part in multiple engagements with the public with regards to safe driving in the then very inclement weather. Advice regarding vehicle maintenance and adequate preparation within vehicle for delays and safety equip-
ment advice was also given out. High visibility foot patrols were made in Penistone town centre where local issues were discussed with the community. Barnsley West NHP Neighbourhood Team will continue to perform Christmas drink drive duties throughout the festive period.
