This is the face of a 56-year-old man who has been jailed for 16 years of rape and other sex offences.

Simon Harrington, of North Court, Brandon, was convicted last month of two offences of rape, one offence of assault of a child by penetration, one offence of sexual activity with a child, two offences of sexually assaulting a child and one of indecent assault.

He was locked up last Friday at Ipswich Crown Court and was told by Judge David Wilson that he left a "trail of devastation that is likely to last for significant time".

Giving evidence during the trial, Harrington denied the allegations which date back to the 1990s.

During his sentencing hearing, one of the former farm worker's victims told the court: “I am constantly on the lookout for him. I don’t like anyone, especially men, standing too close to me in crowds.

“The worst thing is how it affects me with my children and grandchildren. I don’t like being hugged or touched unless I have some kind of warning first."
