A paedophile from Hatfield has been jailed for 15 years after he was convicted of a string of nauseating sexual crimes.

Alban Shackleton, 53, of Stonecross Road was sentenced at St Albans Crown Court on Wednesday for 12 sexual offences and one charge of cruelty to a child.

The offences, which started in the late 1990s, involved both male and female victims, from the age of seven upwards.

He will be on the sex offenders register for life and has had his contact with young children restricted.
