Detective Constable Anthony Gourley, who led the investigation, said: “Michael Stewart is a calculating and dangerous predator who abused his position to target his victims and subject them to traumatic ordeals.
Michael Stewart was found guilty of eight counts of sexual assault, three counts of exposure and one count of harassment with fear of violence.
The Royal Mail described Stewart’s offending as “abhorrent”, apologised to those he targeted in Northumberland and said it had commissioned an independent review into his offending.
A “calculating and dangerous predator” who abused his position as a postman to sexually assault a series of women has been jailed for more than six years.
Michael Stewart, 63, targeted five women, two of whom have since died, Northumbria Police said.
