Anthony Bayliss, aged 77, of Stafford, was regularly using escort services at the time, driving around Birmingham in his Rolls Royce and claiming to be a successful TV producer. 

He met the victim when she was 14 and went on to rape her on two occasions at his home address.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said Bayliss and Paul Doyle, aged 64, were convicted of sexual offences relating to two girls more than 20 years ago. 

The two victims in the historic case were aged just 14 and 15 when the offending began and both were living in the care system.
