A 44-year-old man has been found guilty of a string of sex offences against young boys.

A jury at Oxford Crown Court took less than four hours to find Trevor Baker guilty of six rapes, three serious sexual assaults and three indecent assaults yesterday.

Wearing a black zipped top and glasses Baker stood in silence as the guilty verdicts were read out.

The jury also found Baker not guilty of three indecent assaults.

Judge David Morton Jack remanded Baker, formerly of Wessex Road in Didcot, in custody to await sentencing.

The court has banned the Oxford Mail from reporting Baker's current home address.

The trial had earlier heard that Baker raped two young boys, committed serious sexual offences on one four-year-old boy, and indecently assaulted two boys, between the late 1970s and 2001.

One victim told the trial Baker repeatedly abused him when he was four years old.

Another said Baker raped him in a bed, car and bath, and threatened to hurt him if he told anyone.

The trial also heard from a boy who said Baker pushed him in a river after he told his mother he had been abused.

The jury was due today to continue deliberating its verdict on Baker's brother Mark Anderson, 45, of Dirac Place in Didcot.

Wheelchair-bound Anderson denies six counts of raping young boys.
