A MAN has been found guilty of a series of historical sexual attacks against two young boys.

A jury at Reading Crown Court found Christopher Sayer, of Egerton Close, Brackley, guilty of seven counts of indecent assault on a boy under 16 at Reading Crown Court yesterday.

The court heard assaults were committed against two boys aged 10 and 13 between 1994 and 1998. The 49-year-old was cleared of one further charge of indecent assault on a boy under 16.

Detective Constable Victoria Hunt, from Thames Valley Police’s Child Abuse Investigation Unit, said: “I would like to commend the victims for their courage in coming forward and giving evidence against Sayer to enable his conviction.

“The emotional impact upon the victims and their families has been significant and I hope the conviction goes some way to providing them with a resolution.”

Sayer was released on conditional bail to appear at the same court on Monday, October 27, when he will be sentenced.
