A man identified as Richard Maycroft, aged 42 and hailing from the town of Chatteris, has been handed down a prison sentence of 13 years following his conviction for a series of serious sexual offences. These crimes, which spanned over several years, involved four women, among whom were two young girls aged just 12 years old.
