The link you want is this one

http://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/plymouth-news/charles-howeson-is-found-guilty-961026

Guilty on 8 out of 10 counts; CPS to decide on a new trial on those two counts next year. I doubt it'll take place & those will be allowed to remain on file. Two more won't increase his sentence & waste public money,  unfortunately for those two kids who the charges relate to.

Hmmm, I think you're wrong....

From the Independent

Quote
A disgraced former Navy officer and senior member of staff at the Queen’s bank Coutts has gone on trial accused of further historic sex offences.

Prominent businessman Charles Howeson, who was convicted last year of indecently assaulting eight young men, also attempted to sexually abuse another boy in a field, a jury has been told.

The former Navy commander appeared at Bristol Crown Court where he faced one count of attempted buggery of a boy aged between 14 and 15 during a summer in the mid-1980s.

Howeson, 68, of Plymouth, Devon, also faces an alternative count of indecent assault of the boy. He denies all charges.

Paul Dunkels QC, prosecuting, told the jury of seven men and five women that Howeson stood accused of pushing himself up against the naked buttocks of the boy in a field in Plymouth in the late 1980s.

Mr Dunkels said the man only disclosed this information to his own partner in 2015, who urged him to go to police.

While not able to give the name of his alleged abuser, the information he provided enabled police to identify and arrest Howeson.

Mr Dunkels told the jury the arrest “attracted local publicity” and because of this police learned that a number of other men had made previous claims of being indecently assaulted by Howeson.
 
The jury were told the men alleged the offences took place when Howeson was a senior officer in the Royal Navy in the mid-1980s.

He also ran the Groundwork Trust charity in the early 1990s.

Mr Dunkels told the jury that Howeson was convicted last December of 10 counts of indecent assault on eight men following a six week trial.

He added this witness couldn’t have known that the person he was describing to police in 2015 was the man who had indecently assaulted others in the 1980s and 1990s.
