Philip Watson has been jailed for seven years after being found guilty of four indecent assaults against three schoolboys in Sunderland and Northumberland during the nineteen nineties.
The former teaching assistant was sentenced at Newcastle Crown Court after the victims came forward decades later. He will remain on the sex offenders register for life, with a Sexual Harm Prevention Order also in force.
