Offence Summary

A Tameside man dubbed the worst kind of predator was jailed for 27 years for sex offences against young girls.

Full Description

Scott Freeth, a man from Tameside, Greater Manchester, was sentenced to 27 years in prison for a string of sex offences against young girls. Dubbed 'the worst kind of predator' by the court, Freeth's crimes involved grooming and assaulting multiple underage victims.

Greater Manchester Police's investigation began after reports of suspicious behaviour, leading to arrests and searches that uncovered evidence of abuse. At Manchester Crown Court, the trial exposed Freeth's systematic targeting of girls, using manipulation to perpetrate the offences.

Freeth committed sexual assaults on several young girls in Tameside.
The offences included grooming via online and in-person methods.
Victim impact statements detailed lasting trauma.

The July 2023 sentencing reflected the gravity of the case, with the judge imposing the maximum term possible. Freeth was barred from working with children and placed on the sex offenders' register for life. Police urged community vigilance in protecting children.
