A Labour councillor who appeared with Prime Minister Tony Blair in the TV documentary Tony’s People was yesterday jailed for 15 years for sexually abusing three 14-year-old boys. Martyn Locklin, 41, groomed the youngsters for sex, bribing them with money, alcohol and cannabis before abusing them, Teesside Crown Court was told. Locklin, of Ladybower, Newton Aycliffe, Co Durham, was found guilty of two counts of indecent assault against each of two boys. He was also convicted on one count of buggery, two counts of rape and one of indecent assault against a third boy. Locklin stared impassively at the jury as the verdicts were delivered. A not-guilty verdict was recorded midway through the trial on a further charge of indecent assault against the first boy. Judge Peter Fox QC said Locklin was guilty of “a gross breach of trust”. The offences took place between 1988 and 1996 when the boys, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, were aged between 14 and 15.
