He is a monster.

Hopefully he will die in prison. That is not a very nice thing to say and some people might not want to hear that but that is how I feel.

– Stephen Fong

Mr Fong also said he was "overjoyed" by today's sentence.

He said: "It's fantastic to know that, after so many years, the ex-boys and ex-girls have come together collectively as one and I believe we have got the verdicts we needed."
