Anthony James manipulated and controlled his teenage victims to fulfil his own sexual desires. He claimed that these young victims were over 16 at the time, but this was a lie which collapsed under scrutiny.
This prosecution would not have been possible without the evidence so bravely provided by the young women involved, and I would like to thank them for coming forward to support the case.
The CPS is determined to deliver justice for victims of sexual abuse and for every victim to have confidence that we will not hesitate to bring the strongest possible charges against those who carry out these heinous crimes.
James, who represented Great Britain at the London 2012 Olympics, was found guilty of multiple sexual offenses against two teenage girls.
