A babysitter who abused two children over a period of eight years has been sent to jail.
James King, 32, was sent down for seven-and-a-half years after being found guilty of a string of serious sex offences against a boy and a girl, in December.
During the three week trial the jury was told that both her children told their mum that they were being abused by King - but she decided to do nothing about it.
King, of Highwood Court, Forest Green, had been abusing the children since he was 15, the trial at Gloucester Crown Court heard, and the jury was told that it went on for eight years.
He denied the historical charges against him but was found guilty of 12 offences.
The jury could not reach a verdict over two charges of raping the boy and not guilty verdicts were entered after the court heard the prosecution would not seek another trial.
King was found guilty of four sexual offences against the boy between January 1998 and January 2001. He was also found guilty of a further eight offences against the girl between August 1996 and February 2004. He was sentenced at Bristol Crown Court on Monday, February 2.
