A KEIGHLEY pensioner who broke the terms of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order by having unsupervised contact with a girl under 16 will be sentenced later this month.

Wheelchair-bound John Horry, 81, admitted the breach by pleading guilty to having contact with the girl at his home in Durrance Street on February 15.

Horry was given the indefinite order at Bradford Crown Court in April last year after admitting ten charges, including seven counts of indecently and sexually assaulting a girl aged 12 to 17, and three counts of attempted sexual assault and sexual assault on a woman in her 40s, between 1976 and 2013.

He was given a 21-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, with Judge David Hatton QC telling him he had only been spared immediate custody due to his ill-health.

District Judge Richard Clews said that as Horry, who is hard of hearing, is now in breach of his suspended sentence, the matter will have to be sent back to the crown court.

He told Horry “all sentencing options” will be open to the judge.

He was granted unconditional bail ahead of the hearing on May 16.
