PERVERT David Floyd was today starting a ten-year jail sentence after being convicted of raping a teenage girl and a woman.

Jobless Floyd, 52, of The Glebe, Culham, near Abingdon, denied two charges of rape and two of unlawful sexual intercourse, but was found guilty by a jury at Oxford Crown Court.

Judge Charles Harris ignored calls for a pre-sentence report, telling Floyd immediately after the jury's verdict that he would be spending the next ten years of his life behind bars.

During the trial the court heard Floyd raped the teenager between January 1983 and February 1987 and the woman between February 1987 and December 1989.
