A PENSIONER has been jailed for 15 years after being found guilty of several counts of child sex abuse against girls as young as four.
Roy Summers, of Springfield Oval in Witney, stood trial at Oxford Crown Court charged with 17 counts of historic child sex abuse, of which he denied all.
The 80-year-old has now been found guilty of sexually assaulting three girls, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, in the 1990s and early 2000s.

He was found not guilty of three counts of indecent assault and one count of rape.
A 12-strong jury heard the assaults were said to have taken place at his home address, as well as his car, a shed, and a bus where he worked as a driver.

The court heard the ages ranged from four to 13 years old.
One victim, who gave evidence in court, said: “I remember being like…I couldn’t move. It was like I was paralysed.
"I felt what he was doing but I couldn’t speak.”
He was jailed at the same court on Friday (March 1) for 15 years with a 12 month extension.
