The victim, now an adult, confided in her partner in 2015, and a tutor in 2017.

Ogden continues to deny the offences.

In court his defence lawyer said: "His time in prison hasn't been an easy situation to cope with, but he has sought some comfort in his Christian faith.

"Following the jury's verdicts he has began praying again and is taking Bible classes.

"He and his wife co-ordinate their reading of the Bible, so that she is reading it while he is reading it in his prison cell.

"They remain thoroughly supportive of him."

Ogden is taking "art classes", has been performing prison cleaning duties, and has his name down for a series of courses and "anything he can do essentially to occupy his time"m the court heard.
