Former public school teacher and charity boss Simon Harris from Leominster, Herefordshire, has been jailed at Birmingham Crown Court for 17 years and four months after abusing vulnerable Kenyan street children.
International Justice Mission, the human rights organisation which helped bring Simon Harris to justice, has praised both British and Kenyan police, after the ex-teacher from Herefordshire was sentenced to 17 years and four months for the abuse of Kenyan street children.
The organisation said the case showed that international borders should present no barrier to the prosecution of paedophiles like Harris.
Hannah Flint told ITV News the charity is "delighted" that many more children are protected from ever coming across Simon Harris.
Meanwhile Kelvin Lay, from the National Crime Agency, said the length of his sentence "reflects the crimes that Simon Harris has committed".
