A CONVICTED sex offender has had his jail term increased after another victim came forward.

Damien Riley, of Ewood, Oldham, was convicted of 16 incidents of inappropriate sexual activity relating to four young boys in Oldham in the 1980s when he was a teenager - by a jury in 2021.

The former carer was jailed for 10 years. Sentencing him at the time, Judge Angela Nield said: "The victims of your offending behaviour were four in number they were children, children who all lived on the same estate in very different times to now, when it was commonplace for groups of Damier children to play together on the street.
