Trevor Wilkinson, a Sellafield worker has been jailed for 10 years after he admitted 33 sex crimes, including three rapes.
Trevor Wilkinson, who lives in the St Bees area, was today locked up for the offences – the rapes, seven serious sexual assaults, some allegedly on a victim who at the time was not conscious, six offences of voyeurism and 17 other offences, mostly relating to his possession of hundreds of child pornography images.
One of the offences related to the possession of 926 indecent still images of children of the second most serious category and 55 moving images of the same category, relating to children aged under 13.
Carlisle Crown Court heard the scaffolder’s offences dated back to 2002.
Speaking following today’s sentencing, Detective Chief Inspector Nicholas Coughlan said Wilkinson, 51, had answered for the “horrific crimes” and justice had been served.
“The victims will have to live with the memories of his actions and our thoughts continue to be with them.
“There is no excuse for Wilkinson’s unthinkable actions and I am glad that he is now facing prison for his crimes,” he added.
