Eight years for sex abuse

A Saint John area man is going to prison for eight years on two counts of sexual abuse of a boy in the 1980s and 1990s in the Fredericton area.

53 year old Keith Robert Ackerson, of Bayswater, stood trial earlier this year in Fredericton on two counts of sexual assault. He also admitted to another charge of sexual assault on another boy in Summerville in the early 90s.
