A MAN in his seventies has been found guilty of historic sex crimes from the early nineties.

Edward Price was found guilty after a trial at Reading Crown Court for the offences which are said to have occurred between 1991 and 1992 in Reading.

A jury found him guilty of two counts of indecent assault on a girl under 16 between December 21, 1991 and December 21, 1992.

Prince, of Millwey Avenue in Axminster, Devon, was acquitted of the other two charges which were of indecent assault on a girl under 14 between September 9, 1991 and December 21, 1991.

The 78-year-old, who would have been in his late 40s at the time, opted not to give evidence during the trial which concluded earlier this week.

He will now be sentenced at the same court on September 6. He remains on bail during this time.
