Detective Constable Callum Boast, who worked on the case, acknowledged the bravery of the victims: “I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to the victims in this case, who have shown great courage in coming forward and sharing their experiences with the police.

“It is important to recognise the lasting impact such experiences can have, and I hope today’s sentence provides the victims and their families with some sense of closure.”

The Metropolitan Police confirmed that specialist officers supported the victims throughout the investigation.
