Detectives working for South Yorkshire Police Internet and Sexual Offences Team (ISOT) spent almost a year building an ironclad case against a Sheffield paedophile who had raped and repeatedly sexually assaulted his young children.

The man,in his 30s, and cannot be named to protect the victims pleaded guilty to multiple charges in March 2023 as he faced the mountain of evidence secured by the team since he was first arrested in January 2022.

Yesterday he was jailed for 18 years and handed a further five years on licence. The judge also categorised him as a ‘Dangerous Offender’ due to the grave risk he poses to children, and placed him on the Sex Offenders’ Register for life.
