Jonathan King, the millionaire pop impresario, was beginning a seven-year prison sentence last night for sexually abusing teenage boys throughout the 1980s. King, 56, was visibly shaken as he received his sentence at the Old Bailey for four indecent assaults and two more serious sexual offences on schoolboys aged 14 and 15.
Jonathan King, the millionaire pop impresario, was beginning a seven-year prison sentence last night for sexually abusing teenage boys throughout the 1980s. King, 56, was visibly shaken as he received his sentence at the Old Bailey for four indecent assaults and two more serious sexual offences on schoolboys aged 14 and 15.
King, who appeared in court under his real name, Kenneth George, had been convicted of the six offences in September but sentencing was delayed because the crown hoped to bring three more trials - involving six further alleged victims - against him.
During the two-and-a-half week trial in September, the jury heard that King, a Charterhouse-educated Cambridge graduate, 'exploited his celebrity' to seduce teenage boys.
Having introduced himself by name, the flamboyant producer would impress them with his Rolls-Royce before inviting them back to his mews, ostensibly to listen to records and gauge their opinions - but, in reality, to ply them with alcohol and show them pornographic videos before abusing them.
