James was found guilty by a jury of eight charges in October last year, including three counts of rape, three counts of sexual activity with a child, and two counts of causing a child to engage in sexual activity.
Reading her victim impact statement out in court, the second victim said James was ‘twisted and strange’ and had ‘tampered and manipulated me into what you wanted me to be’.
Gemma Kneebone, senior crown prosecutor for the CPS, said: ‘Antony James manipulated and controlled his teenage victims to fulfil his own sexual desires.
On one occasion when the victim was in her kitchen at home, she said James came over and ‘pushed my head down really fast and hard’ towards his penis.
Addressing James about his first victim, the judge said: ‘You knew what you were doing was seriously wrong but your desire for that young person overtook your self-control.
