Detective Constable Karen Nairn said: “Jones is a sexual predator who preyed on children and abused them in the most horrific way. I can only hope that today they take some comfort knowing their abuser is behind bars as they continue to move forward with their lives.
“Child abuse in any form is unacceptable and I would urge anyone who has suffered at the hands of an abuser to report it to us, in the knowledge that we will do everything we can to ensure you are supported and that the person responsible is held to account for their crimes.”
