Detective Constable Stuart Dolby, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:

“I also hope this sentence gives encouragement to any survivors of abuse that they can come forward and we will investigate and seek justice for them"

"Nottinghamshire Police takes reports of such matters very seriously and will investigate them, working with the Crown Prosecution Service, to put a robust case to the courts.”
