One of Britain's most despicable paedophiles has been handed a 25-year prison sentence for a string of appalling child abuse offences. The predator, whose crimes shocked the nation, was branded a 'dangerous offender' by the judge overseeing the case.
The court heard harrowing details of the abuse, which spanned several years and involved multiple victims. Prosecutors described the defendant as a 'calculating and manipulative' individual who preyed on vulnerable children.
