The 56-year-old of Icklingham left his victims with emotional anguish that "was far greater in significance than any physical injury", a statement read in Ipswich Crown Court said.

Another victim said Taylor “represented himself as this kindly, cool adult that any child would want to spend time with” but said “I wasn’t able to see through or evaluate this as a child”.

Taylor was convicted of one count of rape, six counts of indecent assault of a male, and nine counts of indecency with a child between 1999 and 2001.
