A 61-YEAR-OLD man has been jailed for 12 years for a string of sexual offences against a boy and girl in Bradford in the 1980s.

Michael Bystrytsky (pictured) was convicted by a jury at Bradford Crown Court today after a week-long trial.

He was found guilty of 12 offences, including indecent assault, gross indecency and buggery, committed when he lived in Bradford between 1983 and 1985.

Bystrytsky, now of The Wye, Spalding, Lincolnshire, was unanimously found guilty by the jury in little more than two hours and sentenced immediately by Judge Jonathan Rose.
