High Court Judge Justice Chamath Morais has sentenced a man who was labeled a serial rapist to 11 years, 9 months and 15 days imprisonment.

The man has a non-parole period of 7 years, 9 months and 15 days.

Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions Shyamala Alagendra had called the man who was convicted of rape, sexual assault and attempted rape a serial rapist and paedophile.

While sentencing the man, Justice Morais said that the man had breached the trust of the victims who were under the age of 13.

He said that this event also had a lasting psychological and emotional impact on all three victims.

The man has been convicted of three counts of rape, four counts of sexual assault and one count of attempted rape.

He raped and sexually assaulted a boy and two girls between January 2014 and December 2015.

The victims were 11, 15 and 13 years old at the time of the incidents.

The man was the uncle of the 15‑year‑old girl and was the neighbor of the 11‑year‑old boy and 13‑year‑old girl.

In the eight separate counts, the man raped the victims, showed them his private parts, forced them to touch his private parts and also did sexual acts in front of them.
