After the hearing, Detective Sergeant Daniel Bebbington, of Notts Police's Child Abuse Investigation Unit, said: "This sentence reflects the despicable crimes committed by a dangerous sexual offender.

"The victims have been through a living nightmare.

"Hopefully, this result is the start of a new chapter for them."

He added: "Detective Constable Clare Easter has worked tirelessly for the victims and deserves recognition for such a detailed and thorough investigation.

"Despite repeated denials, George was eventually left with little choice but to plead guilty, such was the overwhelming evidence against him.

"In sentencing George, the judge said that the sentence would have been longer still had George not eventually entered into a guilty plea.

"This is testament to the courage shown by the victims and the comprehensive investigation DC Easter tirelessly worked on to ensure justice would be done."

The victims in the case are being supported through by Imara, an organisation which helps children who have been abused.

    “the trouble with seperating these vile creatures from the rest of the prison population is they are then locked up with fellow beasts,which leaves them free to spend the days and nights swapping stories,tactics,etc....if we cant hang them at least they should be put in solitary for their sentence,why protect them?”

    “He will be 50 when he gets out and still a danger to children. As the country is awash with mind-altering drugs can't some of them be put to positive use on such people to permanently change their attitudes? I know the European Court of Human Rights would rule against it but that would take a number of years. Think of how many children's lives would have been protected in that time.”
