A trainee vicar has been jailed for 15 years for grooming and raping two teenage girls he befriended at religious summer camps
Timothy Storey, 35, a former church youth leader, bombarded his victims with sex texts and social media messages to manipulate them into meeting him.
He attacked one of the girls at his Oxford home after taking her to a concert and plying her with alcohol so that she missed her train home.
Storey, formerly of Peckham, south London used his respectable position as a youth leader to gain the second victim's trust, and sexually assaulted her on two occasions between 2008 and 2009.
The two women came forward about their ordeals after Storey was convicted in May 2014 of grooming girls aged 10 to 16 and encouraging them to perform sexual acts via social media.
Judge Philip Katz QC said Storey's "insidious" behaviour meant he was a serious danger to the public and ordered he serve an extended period of four years on licence on top of his 15-year custodial sentence.
Storey was found guilty of three counts of rape and one of assault by penetration in February following a retrial at London's Woolwich Crown Court and was jailed at the same court on Friday.
Storey, whose parents sat through both trials and were in court to see him sentenced, showed no emotion as he was jailed.
Judge Katz told Storey: "You manipulated them into situations where you knew it was going to be their word against yours.
"They both trusted you, as did many others. Your behaviours also demonstrates rank hypocrisy."
Both women were over the age of consent, the judge said, but were still vulnerable and unworldly.
He added: "There is a streak of arrogance and entitlement in your behaviour."
Storey’s second victim wrote in a victim impact statement read to the court: "I will be living with these scars for the rest of my life."
