A Clacton child rapist who subjected his victims to an unimaginable ordeal over a five-year spell has been jailed for 21 years.
Simon Chilton, formerly of Glover Close, was sentenced at Chelmsford Crown Court on Friday after being convicted of abusing two children last week.
The 36-year-old was arrested in November 2018 after details of his abuse between 2013 and 2018 came to light.
Specialist detectives from Essex Police s child abuse investigation team supported the victims and worked with them to get their account of what happened.
In September 2019, Chilton was charged with eight counts of rape, four counts of sexual assault, four counts of sexual assault by penetration, two counts of sexual assault and one count of assault by beating.
