A pervert who bribed a boy with toys and sweets in exchange for sexual favours will be sentenced next month.
Danny Brady, 63, had expected to learn his fate on Monday. But Judge Maria Lamb adjourned the case until January 5 after technical difficulties emerged during the course of the sentencing hearing.
In the summer, jurors at Oxford Crown Court took less than two hours to convict him of gross indecency and indecent assault.
Then in his 20s, Brady molested two boys in a woodland play area on the edge of the RAF Brize Norton air base, in Carterton, in the 1980s.
Then calling himself ‘Danny B’, he was said to have encouraged the boys with the promise of cash, toys and sweets.
He asked one of the boys if he ‘wanted to be a big man and have a big man’s secret’, jurors heard.
The defendant exposed himself and got the boys to perform sex acts on him.
Prosecutor Kim Preston told the jury: “There was this constant reward, promises of sweets, toys, treats, secrets. A whole picture of this boy being groomed and normalised into believing that what this man was doing with him was alright.”
In 1997, Brady was jailed for eight years at Winchester Crown Court on indecency charges. The sentence was later reduced on appeal. He remains a registered sex offender.
