The 52-year-old, also known as Roderick Bryce-Stafford, sexually abused four boys in Oxfordshire and Berkshire over several years.

The charges included three counts of rape, 11 sexual assaults and four counts of sexual activity with a child.
The judge called Bryce-Hagain a "dangerous offender" as he was unanimously found guilty by a jury. He was also found guilty of engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child, causing a child to engage in sexual activity and attempted rape.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Nicola Fullerton, of the Child Abuse Investigation Unit, said: 'I would like to thank the victims for the strength and courage they have shown throughout this long investigation.
'We would encourage sexual offence victims to come forward to police, no matter how long ago offences occurred.
'We will listen and do everything possible to bring offenders like Roderick Bryce-Hagain to justice.'
