As reported by BBC News, Saxon’s founding bassist, Steve Dawson, has been jailed for repeatedly abusing a six-year-old girl back in the 1990s.
The officer in charge of the case, Detective Constable Robert Heath, said:
”(Dawson) thought he had got away with committing these horrific crimes against a young, vulnerable victim 30 years ago.
“(The victim) 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.”
