A 42-year-old man's been found guilty of 28 child sexual offences against three victims- that spanned over the course of twenty years.
Robert Wilson, of HMP Norwich, was convicted of offences including rape, sexual assault and child cruelty.
He denied all charges against him, however after an 11-day trial, the jury convicted him after hearing evidence from victims and witnesses.
Detective Constable Ellie Brown said: "This outcome is a testament to the courage and resilience shown by the victims, who came forward to report years of abuse and gave evidence throughout the investigation and court proceedings.
"Wilson abused his position as an adult to manipulate, control and exploit children for his own gratification, leaving the victims fearful and causing lasting harm.
"Throughout our investigation, officers worked closely with the victims to support them through what has been an extremely difficult process. We assisted them throughout the criminal justice process and helped them give their evidence in court using special measures.
"Their bravery has ensured a dangerous offender has been held accountable for his actions.
"We know that sexual abuse can have a profound and lifelong impact. I hope this conviction sends a clear message that no matter how much time has passed, we will listen, we will investigate and we will do everything we can to bring offenders before the courts.
"If you have been a victim of abuse, or have concerns about someone you know, please come forward and speak to us."
Wilson will be sentenced in December.
