Wigan paedophile who sexually abused child jailed
Police handoutA paedophile found guilty of committing "truly horrendous" child sex offences has been jailed.
Sean Johnson, of Wigan, was convicted of 27 offences including 16 counts of sexual activity with a child under 13.
The 33-year-old admitted an unrelated attack on a man in a pub in July which left him with life-changing injuries, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.
Johnson, who denied the child sex offences, was jailed at Bolton Crown Court for 16 years and 6 months.
GMP said Johnson, of no fixed address, repeatedly took advantage of his victim and would force them to engage in acts with him.
Insp Andy Devine said: "I firstly want to thank the victims in this case for their bravery throughout the process.
"Sean Johnson's crimes were truly horrendous and today marks the culmination of a lengthy investigation.
"I hope all of those involved can take some comfort in knowing that Johnson is now behind bars and and will be locked away for a long time."
