Description One of the traumatised victims of a paedophile pensioner locked up for 15 years has told how they hope their attacker dies in jail. Both victims of David Jepson were under the age of 13 when he committed his catalogue of sex crimes. They were carried out around a decade ago and both victims have been left psychologically scarred. One of them had turned to drugs and alcohol in an effort to deal with what had happened to them as a child.  Their victim impact statement said: “Now justice has been done I may be able to rebuild my life. I hope he never sees another day outside. He does not deserve to be in this world.” Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court heard how the 76-year-old made one victim pull their trousers down while he performed a sex act on himself. And he simulated sex with the second victim on a settee as well as indecently groping them. Prosecutor Steven Bailey said: "The defendant was in his 60s at the time. "One of the victims broke down in 2016. The allegation was reported to a social worker. "The second victim told police the defendant would undress them or tell them to take off whatever they were wearing. He would lie on top of them and simulate sexual activity." The defendant has always denied the allegations and told police the victims were telling lies. But Jepson, of Tasman Square, Northwood, was this week convicted of four offences of causing a child under the age of 13 to engage in sexual activity; two offences of sexual assault of a child under the age of 13; and two charges of penetrative sexual assault of a child under the age of 13. Caroline Harris, mitigating, said Jepson has learning difficulties.  She said: “He has never been able to read or write. These difficulties have been ongoing for a great number of years. “He is someone who has tried to work hard where possible and he has lived reasonably independently. He will find incarceration particularly difficult.” Judge Paul Glenn described the children as 'young' and 'vulnerable' when the offences took place. He added: "These were planned offences. “The psychological harm is severe for both victims. One of them sustained physical harm. You knew what you were up to.”
