A rapist who put a teenage girl through a "horrifying ordeal" has been jailed.

Anthony Hart pleaded guilty to three counts of rape at Bolton Crown Court and was jailed for 18 years 10 months.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said the victim estimated Hart had raped her "hundreds of times" over a two-year period in the mid-2000s.

Det Sgt Paul Sumner said Hart, 63, had caused his victim "years of suffering" when she "should have been free to live her life and enjoy herself".
