Michael Green, who is now 80 years old, was already serving a prison sentence for sexual offences, when he was found guilty of further abuse towards young boys as far back as fifty years ago. After initially denying these new charges, he was found guilty and after a nine-day trial, was sentenced to 17 years and six months in prison in 2022.
These new charges have been brought as a result of abuse that was carried out against four more boys aged 13-16 years old between 1973 and 1993, and it will be the third time that Green he has been convicted for similar offences. These survivors came forward to the police after hearing about Michael Green’s initial conviction.
We commend the courage it must have taken for the survivors of this horrific abuse to speak out, and we hope this new sentencing provides a sense of closure for them after dealing with the aftermath of Michael Green’s actions for all these years.
Sports coach, Green, was first imprisoned in 2014 for one count of rape and two different indecent assaults in the 1980s, and more victims later came forward which led to the second conviction in 2018. The judge in 2022 said that jurors had “seen through his web of lies and deceit”, after he was found guilty.
