Keith Taylor- Keswick

A Keswick man who sexually abused two school-age boys has been jailed for six years following a police investigation.

Keith Taylor, aged 66, of Crow Park Road, was sentenced today (5 November) at Carlisle Crown Court for two indecent assaults on a boy, an act of gross indecency with a boy and a serious sexual offence against a boy.

An investigation was launched after two people spoke with police about what had occurred to them between 1974 and 1979.

Taylor had initially denied all charges against him, however in April 2025 he pleaded guilty to offences committed against one of the victims.

Following a trial in August, a jury found him guilty of the offences committed against the second individual.
