Serial paedophile James Michael Brown was sentenced to six years behind bars in East Maitland District Court today.

Brown, 61, sexually abused 20 victims while he was a volunteer with the Anglican Church at Kurri Kurri between 1974 and 1995.

He pleaded guilty to a string of indecent and sexual assault charges in April last year.

He first went into custody in November last year after pleading guilty to further offences.

Judge John North sentenced Brown to 10 years jail with a six-year non-parole period.

He will be eligible for release on November 23, 2017.
