Offence Summary

A paedophile from Tameside was jailed for 24 years for a string of sexual offences against two girls.

Full Description

Mark Thomson, a paedophile residing in Tameside, Greater Manchester, received a 24-year prison sentence for committing multiple sexual offences against two young girls. The crimes involved exploitation and abuse over an extended period, with Thomson abusing his position of trust.

Greater Manchester Police launched an investigation following disclosures from the victims, uncovering a history of predatory behaviour. Evidence included confessions and physical proof presented at Manchester Crown Court. The prosecution detailed how Thomson targeted the girls, leading to severe psychological harm.

  • Thomson committed sexual offences against two girls under the age of 13.
  • The abuse occurred in private settings within Tameside.
  • Digital evidence supported the timeline of events.

The sentencing in May 2024 was met with relief from the victims' families, with the judge labelling Thomson's actions as 'heinous and unforgivable'. He was ordered to sign the sex offenders' register indefinitely. Police emphasised the importance of reporting child sex offences promptly.
