"Where victims and their families come forwards, we will always dedicate ourselves to the investigation, and do our utmost to bring offenders to court. We would like to pay tribute to the bravery of those involved, whose cooperation helped to secure the conviction of a very dangerous man. I hope that cases such as this give others the confidence and strength to contact us if they have any suspicions or concerns."

Henneberry has been remanded pending sentencing at a later date.
