Keay, of High Street in Eccleshall, pleaded guilty on March 25 and was sentenced on Friday at Stafford Crown Court. His 15-year jail term was made up of: – Nine years in prison for each count of rape to be served concurrently. – Six years in prison for two of the counts of indecent assault, with a separate sentence of eighteen months for the three other counts to be served concurrently.
