Two brothers who groomed, manipulated, and abused young victims between 2006 and 2008 have been sentenced to a combined 31 years in prison.
Mark Evans, 37, and Robert Evans, 40, targeted their victims when they were just 18 and 21 years old, plying them with drugs and alcohol before carrying out horrific sexual assaults.
Following a National Crime Agency (NCA) investigation, both men were convicted of multiple offences, including rape, on December 4.
At their sentencing today, Mark Evans received 14 years, while Robert Evans was sentenced to 17 years behind bars.
Authorities praised the extraordinary bravery of the survivors, whose courage helped bring the perpetrators to justice.
If you have experienced sexual abuse, no matter how long ago, you can seek help by calling 101 or visiting your local police station. You are not alone.
