Detective Constable Carla Sutton said:
“Marvill acted in a wholly inappropriate manner and performed appalling acts in front of young children.
“This behaviour won’t be tolerated in Lincolnshire or society at large and thanks to the courage and strength of the children involved, he won’t be able to abuse anyone else.
“We would encourage anyone who has been abused in this fashion to contact us. We’re here to listen and our specially trained officers will provide as much support as possible.”
