This is the mugshot of an RAF serviceman jailed for molesting two air cadets.

The girls were both just 15-years-old when Carterton man Gary Larner groped them and asked them to send him explicit pictures of themselves.

Sending him to prison for 40 months at Oxford Crown Court on Friday (June 10), Judge Maria Lamb said: “You had a position in the RAF that gave you significant responsibilities in terms of your behaviour towards the young cadets under your leadership and that position you sorely abused.”
