Former Newcastle youth coach George Ormond has been sentenced to 20 years in jail for sexual abuse offences across a span of 25 years.
Ormond coached football at grassroots level in the 1970s and 80s before taking up a role in Newcastle's academy in the 1990s.
BBC News reports how Newcastle Crown Court heard that between 1973 and 1998, Ormond used his "position of power" to sexually abuse 18 boys and young men.
He was found guilty of 35 counts of indecent assault and one count of indecency. He was cleared of two further charges at the end of the six week trial.
