A former prison officer at Medomsley Detention Centre has been found guilty of misconduct in a public office at the age of 89.
Alexander Flavell was charged with several offences, including misconduct in a public office, two charges of assault, two charges of indecent assault, and another of buggery. The 89-year-old was ruled unfit to stand trial, but a jury heard the facts of the case at Teesside Crown Court last week.
On Tuesday, February 28, the jury found that Flavell had committed misconduct in a public office and one charge of indecent assault, Durham Constabulary has confirmed.
