COSTA DEL SOL journalist Mike Souter was today sentenced to 22 years in prison after being found guilty of a string of child sex offences.

The 60-year-old, who has worked for BBC Norfolk and Sur in English, was also convicted of making and possessing indecent images of children.

In total, Souter, who has two homes in La Cala de Mijas, was found guilty of 26 charges.

During the trial Souter was dubbed a “sexual deviant”, who was obsessed with young boys in shorts.

Police are now investigating further cases, including some which allegedly took place abroad.
