A DORSET pensioner has been charged with eight counts of sexual offences.
The charges date back to the 1950s and are alleged to have occurred in Lincoln.
Lincolnshire Police confirmed that 81-year-old Roy Griffiths, of Dorset, was charged with six counts of indecent assault on a boy under the age of 14 and two counts of inciting a boy under the age of 14 to commit an act of gross indecency.
He has been bailed to appear at Lincoln District Magistrates Court on Thursday 8 June.
The charges come as part of Operation Redstone, an ongoing enquiry into allegations of abuse dating back to 1958 following a review of past safeguarding cases by the Diocese of Lincoln.
As part of this investigation officers are working in partnership with the Diocese and the Cathedral and are keen to hear from anyone who might have information that could assist the enquiry.
