Saxon bassist Steve Dawson has been jailed for historic child sex offences.The 72-year-old received a sentence of six years following a trial at Sheffield Crown Court, according to BBC News after he was found guilty at an earlier hearing of four counts of indecent assault of a child under 14.He was jailed for repeatedly abusing the girl when she was six-years-old during the 1990s.Det Con Robert Heath, the officer in charge of the case at South Yorkshire Police, said following the verdict: “Stephen Dawson thought he had got away with committing these horrific crimes against a young, vulnerable victim 30 years ago.“She has shown extraordinary strength through coming forward. It is clear that his evil acts have remained with her throughout her life, and I hope this sentence goes some way to allowing her to move on from these traumatic events.”He continued: “The result of this case demonstrates just how seriously we take these offences.
