A man has been jailed for non-recent sexual offences in West Lothian.
Michael Conway, 66, was sentenced to 14 years in jail at the High Court in Glasgow yesterday, Wednesday, 14 August, 2024.
He was previously found guilty of 14 serious sexual offences committed against two women and six girls over a number of decades. The children were aged between 4 and 14 when the abuse occurred.
He was also placed on the offenders register indefinitely.
Detective Chief Inspector Jonny Wright said: “Conway is an abhorrent abuser who now faces the consequences of his despicable actions.
“I hope his conviction and sentencing will offer some form of justice to those involved, who have shown incredible strength and courage throughout the reporting and court process.
“Police Scotland is committed to tackling all forms of sexual crimes, when abuse happened, where it took place or who was involved.
“I’d urge anyone who has been a victim of such offences to contact us on 101. We will listen, we will investigate, and we will take prompt action to ensure that no-one else is at risk of harm.”
John graduated from Telford College in 2010 with an HNC in Practical Journalism and since then he worked for the North Edinburgh News, The Southern Reporter, the Irish News Review and The Edinburgh Reporter. In addition he has been published in the Edinburgh Evening News and the Hibernian FC Programme.
