A
trusted school caretaker, who preyed on two young girls during end of
term camps in the Easter and Summer holidays, has been jailed for 12
years for the sickening sex attacks.
John
Lyon, 40, (pictured) of Latymer Way, Edmonton lured a seven year-old
girl to a bathroom and as a result of a police investigation a six
year-old girl reported a similar sexual assault.
Wood
Green Crown Court heard the seven year-old was subjected to Lyon's
vile advances on July 30, last year at the camp in Churchbury Road,
Enfield.
The
six year-old was similarly targeted during the previous Easter
holidays.
Lyon
was placed on the sex offenders register for life, and an indefinite
Sexual Offences Prevention Order was imposed.
He
was arrested on August 1, last year, charged on January 17 and
pleaded guilty on September 16.
Detective
Constable Mark Tester of the Sexual Offences, Exploitation and Child
Abuse Command, said: "This has been a complicated and protracted
enquiry and I wish to thank the victims and their families for their
patience and assistance throughout.
"Lyon
betrayed his position of trust as a caretaker at the school in the
most heinous way, his actions demonstrated a pre-meditation and it is
my belief that he poses a very real risk to children, and this was
reflected in the summing up and sentence imposed by the court."
