A DISGRACED councillor who sexually assaulted a 16-year-old boy has quit.

Neil Derbyshire had refused to give up his Stockport council seat despite being ordered to sign the Sex Offenders' Register after he admitted indecent assault and attempting to procure an act of gross indecency.

Married Derbyshire, 50, of Manor Road, Marple, had previously resigned from the Stockport council executive and was suspended from the Liberal Democrat group, but said he intended to serve as an independent until the elections in May 2004.

Had he been jailed for at least three months he would have been barred automatically. Derbyshire was facing a probe by the Standards Board for England which has power to disqualify him from serving as a councillor. Derbyshire, whose wife Susan is also a Stockport councillor, declined to comment on his resignation.

Stockport council leader Mark Hunter welcomed Derbyshire's decision to quit. He said: "Under electoral law the council could do nothing to force him out of office, except refer the matter to the Standards Board for England."

There is now likely to be a by-election in Derbyshire's Manor ward.

A former assistant director of social services, magistrate and Labour councillor has been jailed for abusing boys in a children's home scandal which may have had as many as 70 victims over 30 years, it emerged yesterday.

Alan Prescott, 62, who was described at the Old Bailey as a "pillar of his local community", was sentenced to two years in prison after admitting indecently assaulting four boys in his care between 1970 and 1980 while he was superintendent of a Tower Hamlets children's home.

Crude sex act councillor escapes jail


A COUNCILLOR who admitted performing a crude sex act in front of a teenage boy has escaped jail.

Cllr Neil Derbyshire, of Manor Road, Marple, appeared at Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester for sentencing after pleading guilty to indecent assault on a 16-year-old boy and attempting to procure an act of gross indecency in a public place.

The court heard the 50-year-old, who will be put on the sex offenders' register for five years, had performed a sex act in front of the boy in Offerton woodland on March 14.

Derbyshire then offered the boy £30 to meet him the next day and he agreed.

But the teenager told his mum, who contacted police, and they were waiting for him at the meeting point.

The father-of-two was arrested and officers found he was carrying a plastic bag containing gloves, a condom and a pair of men's pants.

Wife Sue Derbyshire, also a councillor, has stood by her husband of 22-years since his arrest and was at the court to hear the sentence.

Ian McIvor, defending, said: "It is very unlikely that he will ever achieve in local politics, his future in politics is finished. He has brought shame on his family.

"He does regret what he has done and does recognise that people will suffer as a result of his actions."

He was given a three-year community rehabilitation order.

Summing-up Judge Stuart Fish said: "The offences that you have committed are always regarded as being serious.

"Young people have a right to expect that they will be looked after and they can trust adults."
