Retired truck driver Ralph Clarke was found guilty of raping and abusing the sisters in the 1970s and early 80s, having earlier admitted indecently assaulting their brother and attempting to rape him when he was a schoolboy.
He was jailed for 13 years at Birmingham Crown Court after being convicted of more than 20 charges. His victims finally contacted police in August last year having seen Facebook posts celebrating Clarke’s 100th birthday.
