A FAMILY last night told how a North Wales man abused three young sisters in their own home. Relatives spoke out as John Leach was beginning a three-year sentence for indecently assaulting the girls when they were aged between nine and 13. The 64-year-old, of Cherry Tree Close, Upper Colwyn Bay, was found guilty of 10 offences, including seven of sexual assault and two of sexual activity with a child, by a jury at Hove Crown Court. The attacks, which happened in Abergele and Sussex between 2004 and 2006, came to light when the eldest of three sisters told her parents. Leach, who had other properties in Colwyn Bay and Abergele, was also ordered by judge David Rennie to be put on a sex offenders licence for a further 18 months after his release. Last night the girls relatives welcomed the sentence. One, who cannot be named, said: He was placed in a position of trust and he abused that. When he was one-to-one or alone with the girls he would touch them. The eldest girl came forward and said what was going on and when the other girls were questioned it came out. The eldest girl had started having behavioural problems which were tell-tale signs in hindsight. Shed been having problems at school and at home. The family member added: He has been found guilty and the justice system has dealt with him in an appropriate way. The girls, who gave evidence by video link, were praised for their bravery.
