Steven Franklin, 71, 'persistently and repeatedly' assaulted two children, Kent Police says.

A man has been jailed for 26 years for a series of sexual assaults carried out against two children over the course of 30 years.

Franklin's offending went back to the 1970s, with one of his victims being targeted for more than a decade. "He has subsequently demonstrated zero remorse and refused to confess his wrongdoing, instead choosing to make them suffer a lengthy legal process, during which they’ve had to relive horrific incidents."
