AN ex-youth leader and councillor who lived a double life as a paedophile has been given another jail term for sex with a second schoolgirl.

John Duffy, now 52, was jailed for 12 years in December after grooming a besotted girl and having hundreds of secret sex sessions with her from when she was 12-years-old.

Duffy, who had targeted that victim about two decades ago when he was married with a family, was said to have promised her the earth and abused her over a number of years.

Now, he has been given an 18-month sentence for twice having intercourse with a 15-year-old girl in the early 1980s, several years before the other victim.

Burnley Crown Court was told last year how Duffy got the girl he groomed pregnant twice, once when she was 15, which led to an abortion.

The same court heard on Monday how he got the other victim pregnant when she was also 15 and she had a termination.

Duffy, a former pub chef, was living at Skipton Road, Colne, where he ran The Lunch Box takeaway and sandwich shop, when he went into custody.

He was jailed last year after being convicted by a jury of 21 counts of indecent assault and one allegation of gross indecency, between 1989 and 1991.

The well-known former parish councillor had no convictions at that time.

On Monday, he was given the 18 months, to be served concurrently to the 12 years, after he admitted two counts of indecent assault.

He was ordered to sign the sex offenders' register, which he is on for life, again and was banned from working with children.

Alison Mather, prosecuting on Monday, said Duffy had sexual intercourse with the schoolgirl twice. She feared she might get pregnant, but he told her: “Oh, don’t be so stupid”.

Duffy was said to have told the victim he wanted to marry her and asked her to get engaged.

The court was told the victim had sometimes felt life was unbearable after what happened. The other victim had been left heartbroken and suicidal.

Kama Melly, for Duffy said: “It has had a deep impact upon him. His long-standing relationship has ended.”

Judge Andrew Woolman told the defendant that had he sentenced him for all matters together last December, he would not have imposed longer than 12 years.
