Police Praise Victims Bravery

DS Nikki Smith who led the investigation said: “These children were coerced into keeping their silence as Noy made them think that the horrific attacks he carried out were to be expected.

“This allowed him to construct a web of secrecy in which the children felt they could not escape.

“These children, who are now adults, have been through untold psychological and emotional difficulty in their lives and it is a testament to their bravery that this man has been found guilty.

“I hope this case highlights that our officers will do everything they can to bring to justice those who commit these terrible crimes, whether it happened yesterday or decades ago.”
