Robert Cameron Wells subjected five young people to shocking ordeals, which included drugging and filming his victims.
Robert Cameron Wells was sentenced to life imprisonment for a series of sexual offences against five young people in Brighton, West Sussex, Hampshire and the West Midlands between 19 and 25 years ago.
The 69-year-old will serve a minimum term of 17 years following the hearing at Hove Crown Court on the September 6 2021.
He had been convicted of two counts of indecency with a boy aged eight in July this year, and attempting to possess an indecent image of a child, all in West Sussex in 1998.
He had previously pleaded guilty to 16 other offences:
– One offence of indecent assault on a 15-year-old girl in West Sussex in 1998, while supposedly conducting a ‘pre-abortion’ examination of her at his surgery in Portslade
– One offence of indecent assault on a woman known to him, aged 18 in 2002 in Coventry
– Two offences of rape, and seven offences of indecent assault on a girl aged nine in 2001, one in the West Midlands, the rest in Brighton, and four offences of taking an indecent photograph of a child, all against the same girl, one in the West Midlands, the others in the Brighton area
– One offence of indecent assault on a woman aged 18 in Southampton in 2002. He had already been convicted of sexual offences against her in 2004 in Hampshire, but the Sussex Police investigation uncovered new video evidence of him assaulting her, accessible because of new technical developments since then
All the offences involved evidence that Wells used drugs to help ensure compliance in his victims.
Detective Constable Owen Watkins of Sussex Police said: “Wells was clearly a systematic and serial sexual abuser of young people, using his charm and air of professional distinction to lure them into a sense of false security, for his own gratification
