A Hartcliffe man maintained his innocence after being charged with the historical sexual abuse of two boys. But a jury found otherwise and he is starting a 12-and-a-half year jail term.
Ian Waine, 43, of Lakeshore Drive, was convicted of rape and two indecent assaults of a complainant aged eight. He was also convicted of four indecent assaults of a second complainant aged 10.
Judge James Patrick told him: "You are a serious sexual offender." The judge told Waine to register as a sex offender for life and barred him from working with children and vulnerable adults for life.
