He pleaded guilty to overwhelming evidence against him.
When he is released, he will be registered as a sex offender and will be subject to an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order." He emphasised the importance of reporting abuse, urging victims to contact their local police by dialling 101.
"We will always investigate allegations of abuse, regardless of when they occurred.
