A disgraced vicar has had five years added to his long prison sentence after he admitted having sex with two more vulnerable young boys.
Former Queensbury vicar Peter Hedge, 51, was locked up for 14 years in October 2009 after a jury found him guilty of raping and sexually abusing six youngsters, but Judge Peter Benson today (TUES) extended that sentence after the Oxford University graduate admitted similar offending against two other boys.
Prosecutor Sophie Drake said one of the two new complainants had been spoken to during the original police inquiry, but at the time he denied anything had happened because he wanted to get on with his life.
But in 2011 he contacted the police and revealed how Hedge had abused him.
