What has West Mercia Police said about the case?

Detective Constable Fiona Millership said: “The verdict and the sentence handed down to Turner will I hope offer some solace and comfort to those he hurt.

“Tuner is a predator of children and once our investigation was under way, we uncovered more victims who, between 2001 and 2004, he also abused and sexually assaulted.

“Not only should the sentence of 23 years serve as a warning to those sexually abusing children but my hope is that it reassures other victims and survivors that they can trust us to find them justice. If you have been abused, sexually assaulted, raped or exploited, talk to us and let us help you.”
