A PAEDOPHILE former church bus driver has been jailed for 11 years for a “campaign of sexual abuse” against six young girls spanning 18 years.
Tony Mitchell raped a child of 11, telling police: “She liked me doing that,” and molested five others, Bradford Crown Court was told.
Mitchell, 45, of Idlethorp Way, Thorpe Edge, Bradford, wept in the dock and held his hands as if clasped in prayer when he was sentenced yesterday.
He pleaded guilty to nine offences against six girls, aged between seven and 13.
Mitchell, who used to own a second hand shop in Bradford, began working as a volunteer bus driver for the Church on the Way in Bradford Road, Idle, in 2012.
