Michael Strange, 63, was handed a two-year prison sentence at Newcastle Crown Court on Thursday.
An abuse survivor has accused the England and Wales Cricket Board of failing to protect him and “countless others” from a former Durham junior coach described as a “monster” by police.
In his victim personal statement, the man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said he “struggled to understand” the abuse of power and trust, and was “disappointed” by the cricket authorities for not identifying Strange’s offending earlier.“I hope safeguarding measures are constantly reviewed to prevent similar incidents in future,” he said.
“The defendant was talking graphically about pornography and what he wanted to do to the complainant as he was touching him,” Mr Pallister said. “He robbed multiple promising young cricket stars of their innocence. He is the definition of a monster. The following day the ECB confirmed it would conduct an internally-led review of Strange’s offending. That followed calls from another of Strange’s victims for a wider review into abuse in cricket in an interview with the PA news agency in October last year.
