Norfolk man who coerced woman into sex with 100 others jailed

Rodney Johnston exploited a woman for 30 years, coercing her into sex with over 100 men and documenting the abuse; police seized 30,000 images, court heard.

  • Rodney Johnston, 67, was jailed for life with a minimum term of 16 years at Norwich Crown Court on Friday after coercing the victim into sex with more than 100 strangers over three decades.
  • Over three decades, Johnston coerced the victim into hundreds of sexual sessions for his gratification, and the case came to Norfolk Police after the woman's children discovered explicit images.
  • Police found a trove of evidence including over 30,000 images and videos; Johnston used adult social networks, bulk text messages, and threats to arrange meetings at Thetford Forest and Whitlingham Lane involving up to 15 men.
  • Police said their focus now shifts to identifying other participants as Norfolk Police launch further investigation, while Rodney Johnston faces lifelong licence, register conditions, and restraining orders.
