A man has been jailed for seven years for historic sex offences against two girls.
The assaults came to light last year after one of the victims went to police and told them what Tony Ferrari had done to her years ago.
During police investigations the second girl then came forward.
Ferrari, now 70 of Southfield Road, Almondbury, admitted 13 offences of indecent assault against the two girls.
Sophie Drake, prosecuting, told Leeds Crown Court today (Thursday) that one of the complainants had suffered mental-health difficulties since and had received counselling.
She said she felt particularly sorry for not having reported the abuse at the time which might have saved the second girl from also becoming a later victim of Ferrari.
Richard Canning, representing Ferrari, said he had been a hard-working man of previous good character and the sentence would be difficult at his age.
Jailing Ferrari, Judge Geoffrey Marson QC said although years had passed, the impact on the complainants had clearly been substantial.
He was ordered to register as a sex offender indefinitely.
