A carer who was convicted of sexually abusing children has been banned from working in the profession.
Andrew Ward from Johnstone was convicted of the historic attacks at Greenock Sheriff Court in May last year.
It was found that on multiple occasions between November 14, 1986, and November 13, 1988, Ward indecently assaulted a boy aged between 14 and 16 by touching his genitalia under his clothing, carrying out sexual acts on the child, and pushing him.
