A FORMER vicar aged 91 has been jailed for three years for sexually abusing a boy in vicarages in Bolton and Atherton.
Frank Baldwick was sentenced today after previously being convicted by a jury of nine men and three women at Bolton Crown Court.
They took just 90 minutes, in August, to return guilty verdicts on the two counts of indecent assault.
The offences — which date from the late 1970s when Baldwick was the Church of England vicar of St Michael’s Great Lever, and then of St Anne’s Hindsford, Atherton — were committed against a boy aged between 11 and 13 at the time.
