Summary

He pleaded guilty at the Central Criminal Court to 165 counts of rape and sexual assault against one boy and 40 similar offences against his brother between 1993 and 2003. The victims described repeated molestation, including the use of a homemade "penis pump" and forced sexual acts.

Both boys reported severe psychological trauma, including anxiety, panic attacks, and a sense of living "hell on earth." The court has kept anonymity orders in place for the time being.
