A SICK Hollywood paedophile has been caged for more than 20 years after he was convicted of multiple sexual offences against children.
Mark Turner committed the horrendous crimes between 2001 and 2004, a court heard.
The 40-year-old was convicted of gross indecency with a girl under 16, indecent assault of a female under 14, cause/incite a child to engage in sexual activity by penetration and sexual assault of a child.
Turner, of Corbett Road, Hollywood, was sentenced to 23 years in prison at Worcester Crown Court on January 31.
Detective Constable Fiona Millership said: “The verdict and the sentence handed down to Turner will I hope offer some solace and comfort to those he hurt.
“Turner is a predator of children and once our investigation was under way, we uncovered more victims who, between 2001 and 2004, he also abused and sexually assaulted.
“Not only should the sentence of 23 years serve as a warning to those sexually abusing children but my hope is that it reassures other victims and survivors that they can trust us to find them justice.
"If you have been abused, sexually assaulted, raped or exploited, talk to us and let us help you.”
