Mr Justice Edis, the Old Bailey judge, described Joseph McCann Aylesbury Paedophile as “a coward, a violent bully and a paedophile”, having run a campaign of rape, brutality and kidnapping of a level he had never seen or heard of before.
Mr Edis kept going at the sentencing: “You have never shown a word of regret or care for your victims. You think you are entitled to use others however you like and are fixated on yourself. You believe that certain people exist just for your enjoyment.
“You are a classic psychopath; I don’t think you will ever stop being dangerous.”
Joseph McCann was convicted of 33 life sentences to be served concurrently, with a minimum period of 30 years in jail. To be served simultaneously with those above, he was additionally sentenced to three ten-year and fourteen-year terms.
Following a month-long trial ending on Friday, December 6, the jury unanimously convicted Joseph McCann guilty of all 37 allegations levelled against him.
Like with the trial, 34-year-old Aylesbury resident Joseph McCann missed court, claiming he had a sore back and couldn’t make it.
Detective Chief Inspector Katherine Goodwin, who led the investigation, said: “Joseph McCann is one of the most dangerous offenders this country has ever seen, and the sentence handed down today is a reflection of his heinous crimes.
“Although the criminal proceedings are over, we should never forget that the 11 individuals who were subjected to Joseph McCann’s downright evil actions will have to live with those memories for the rest of their lives.
“Their unwavering support for the police investigation and the evidence they gave in court meant the jury had no choice but to see Joseph McCann for the depraved individual he was.
“I must also thank all of the officers involved in this long and complex case, from those who first responded and provided immediate support to the victims to the investigation team who have dedicated the last few months preparing for this trial.
“We all had one ultimate aim – to bring Joseph McCann to justice and ensure no one else will ever have to suffer at his hands.”
