Stephen Lewis cautioned a girl, “do not disclose to anyone,” following his sexual abuse of her and subsequently molesting her friend.
The paedophile, Stephen Lewis, perpetrated heinous atrocities against two young girls and compelled one of them to engage in sexual acts with him.
Upon realising they had both endured abuse, the two victims contacted Jackie magazine for guidance.
However, when one of the parents discovered the situation, they accused the girls of deceit, resulting in the abuse remaining unreported for decades.
In 2019, one of the victims came forward, leading Stephen Lewis, of Woodchurch Road, Prenton, to confess to six counts of indecent assault and two acts of indecency with a child.
A court stated that his sentence authority was constrained due to the significant differences in sentencing guidelines at the time the acts were committed compared to the present.
Stephen Lewis was incarcerated for a duration of four years.
The police stated that no mugshot was captured of Stephen Lewis during his voluntary questioning and forgot to take one when he was sent to prison.
